Another Atlanta Falcons player has found himself on the reserve/COVID list, but Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings still is scheduled to be played.

The Falcons placed defensive end John Cominsky on the COVID-19 reserve list on Saturday. Atlanta isn't allowed to reveal whether or not Cominsky tested positive or just came into contact with the virus.

We have placed John Cominsky on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Chris Slayton and Edmond Robinson have been flexed to the active roster.

We can infer that Cominsky tested positive, however, as both defensive line coaches Jess Simpson and Tosh Lupoi won't be traveling with the team to Minneapolis.

Outside linebackers coach Aden Durde will assist with coaching the defensive line on Sunday. The Falcons also promoted Edmond Robinson and Chris Slayton to the active roster.

The 0-5 Falcons, who shut down their practice facility on Thursday after what was determined to be a false positive COVID-19 test, are looking for their first win of the season after firing Dan Quinn.
