Earlier this week the Raiders placed Damon Arnette and Trent Brown on the reserve/COVID list. Las Vegas also placed its entire starting offensive line on the list as they quarantine after contract tracing linked them to Brown.

The Saints placed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders on the reserve/COVID list on Friday after he was experiencing symptoms and tested positive for the virus. Ken Crawley also was placed on the list by New Orleans due to close contact with Sanders.
