NFL's next COVID-19 outbreak could be happening in Kansas City.
From my understanding, the Chiefs, by the end of today, could have 10 or more players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

It was announced on Monday that All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, kicker Harrison Butker and starting cornerback Charvarius Ward were all placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. While all of the new names haven't yet been revealed, among the group of Chiefs players reportedly going into the protocols on Tuesday are All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill, cornerback Rashad Fenton and tight end Blake Bell.
Kansas City picked up a critical "Thursday Night Football" victory in Week 15 over the Los Angeles Chargers last week. The Chiefs are currently 10-4 atop the AFC standings.
They are scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday in Week 16.
