LThe Philadelphia Eagles have confirmed that a player has tested positive for coronavirus and, according to The Phipadelphia Inquirer, it is the Spanish receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside. The team has placed him on the COVID-19 reserve list, as per NFL protocol, along with John Hightower and Deontay Burnett, which have been isolated because they are direct contact with the Spanish. Vinny Curry and Corey Clement have also entered the list, who have had contacts with positives, but not with Arcega-Whiteside.
It’s about another varapalo for the spanish player, who does not finish finding his place in the field and whose team will have considered his continuity. The player born in Zaragoza and the first Spanish to be chosen in the NFL Draft, made a first year in the league far from the expectations of the Eagles. He caught just 10 passes for 169 yards and consumed a nico ‘touchdown’. More was expected of him. “There were times when I had so many blows to the body that I needed help in the morning to go to the bathroom”, he came to confess.
In this second season in the NFL, JJ Arcega-Whiteside has only two receptions in seven games he has played.
From August 1 to November 14, 270 players and team staff have been infected. According to NFL protocol, If the player is asymptomatic, he will be able to return to training and play in ten days or in five if he presents two negative results with 24 hours between them.
