The Kansas City Chiefs have placed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and backup center Daniel Kilgore on the reserve/COVID-19 due to close contact, a source tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The roster moves, which have not yet been announced, mark the first coronavirus-related issues ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl.
If they are officially designated only as close contacts, Robinson and Kilgore could play in Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if they have five consecutive days of negative tests.
Robinson, 26, had a career-high 45 receptions for 466 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Kilgore, 33, appeared in seven games — including four starts — this season, his first with the Chiefs. The 10-year veteran is listed as Kansas City’s backup center behind Austin Reiter.
