Falcons Shut Down Facilities After Positive COVID-19 Test
4 years agoAt least one member of the Atlanta Falcons has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the team to shut down their facilities on Thursday. According to reports, the Falcons are working remotely while the league looks into the test results. ESPN's Adam Schefter originally reported that there were four players who tested positive but later added that a Falcons official stated that the team was still working through everything and that they have not confirmed all four positive tests. Either way, this development puts Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings at risk of postponement. Fantasy gamers who are relying on any Falcons or Vikings this weekend will want to make sure they have backup plans in place. Fortunately the game is currently scheduled for 1:00 PM EST so gamers will have a full roster of replacements to choose from. Expect more clarity on the situation over the next few days.
