Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and eight other players were added by the Los Angeles Rams to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The team announced that in addition to Beckham, defensive back Terrell Burgess, tight end Brycen Hopkins, defensive back JuJu Hughes, offensive tackle Alaric Jackson, defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day and safety Jordan Fuller were added to the list, while defensive end Jonah Williams and defensive back Tyler Hall were also added as practice squad members.
Tight end Tyler Higbee was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list, with the team confirming that he missed Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals due to a false positive. Beckham caught a touchdown pass and had six catches for 77 yards in the Rams’ victory vs. the Cardinals, while Fuller, Burgess and Hopkins also contributed towards the win.
Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Tuesday that the team’s practice facility was closed and all work would be done remotely for two days, with the remainder of the work week to be determined. Said McVay: “We’re in intensive protocols. This has definitely been the most uniquely challenging situation we’ve dealt with with COVID over the last two years, no doubt about it, specific to our team the amount of people that are affected, both players and staff.”
