Ravens' Humphrey Tests Positive

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey said Monday that he’d tested positive for the coronavirus, tweeting, “I got the Rona hopefully I’ll be back healthy soon.”

Several other NFL teams also reported positive tests: a Green Bay Packers player who is reportedly running back AJ Dillon; two Arizona Cardinals players, one of whom is linebacker Devon Kennard; and a Cleveland Browns player experiencing “Covid-19-related” symptoms.

Garoppolo, Kittle Out With Injuries

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle are both out indefinitely after suffering injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks that forced them to leave in the fourth quarter, according to reports Monday.
Garoppolo reportedly aggravated his high right ankle sprain and is expected to be out for at least six weeks, and possibly longer if he needs surgery. Kittle has a broken bone in his foot and will be sidelined for about eight weeks.

Florida Coach Fined $25,000

The SEC announced Monday that it had fined Florida coach Dan Mullen $25,000 for his role in Saturday’s brawl with Missouri. The fight began between players as both teams were heading toward the locker rooms at halftime. Soon after it ended, Mullen appeared to hype up the home crowd on his way to the tunnel, and eventually returned to the field for more. Florida beat Missouri 41-17.
