The moves on the list mark the first coronavirus problems before Sunday’s Super Bowl.
If they are officially designated only as close people, Robinson and Kilgore could play in the LV Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if they have five consecutive days of negative testing.
“The NFL has done an excellent job, presenting various safety things to keep players as safe as possible,” head coach Andy Reid said Monday. “I got this point forever at home. The problem is that you fight the invisible man. It only helps you when you least expect it and we see that in everything. It’s an unfortunate thing.”
Robinson, 26, had a first career of 45 receptions for 466 meters and three touchdowns this season.
Kilgore, 33, has appeared in seven games – including four starts – this season, his first with the Chiefs. The 10-year veteran is listed as a Kansas City backup center behind Austin Reiter.
“These guys were very safe,” Reid said, “and we’ll just see how it goes. But the league has rules and regulations built in, so we follow them and everything will work out. Everything will work out for them when it’s all over. said and finished. “
