WR Kenny Golladay Confirms He Tested Positive for COVID-19

Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay admits to testing positive for the coronavirus.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay admitted during a Monday video conference that he indeed tested positive for the coronavirus. 

He expressed mild symptoms, including a fever that lasted for 48 hours.

At this time, he reports being asymptomatic, and is 100 percent healthy and ready to participate in the daily training camp practices. 

By all accounts, the emerging wide receiver is one of the NFL's biggest bargains.

The fourth-year veteran is set to count only $2.3 million against Detroit's cap in the final year of his contract.

In 2019, Golladay secured 65 receptions for 1,190 yards and 11 touchdowns.

In the first week of testing, eight Lions players tested positive, including Golladay, tight end Isaac Nauta, cornerback Justin Coleman, quarterback Matthew Stafford, tight end T.J. Hockenson, punter Arryn Siposs, safety Jalen Elliott and cornerback Amani Oruwariye.

At the present moment, no members of the Lions' roster are on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Hockenson revealed that being on the COVID-19 list was "lonely," but that he didn’t experience many symptoms. 

He also noted his father brought him weights, so he could stay busy and work out during the time he was away from Allen Park.
