Broncos Kicker Brandon McManus Now On COVID Reserve List

DENVER (CBS4) - Broncos kicker Brandon McManus announced on Monday afternoon that he is going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, but still plans to play on Saturday when the Broncos host the Bills.

I will be going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list because of a close contact outside the building. Still plan on playing Saturday

NFL rules stipulate that a player who is deemed as a "close contact" must quarantine for five days. If McManus produces negative tests all week then he will be cleared to play on Saturday despite not being able to practice.
