Steelers Add DE Isaiah Buggs, RB Anthony McFarland Jr. To Reserve/COVID-19 List

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed two more players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Defensive end Isaiah Buggs and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. were added to the list on Thursday, joining tackle Zach Banner and linebackers Marcus Allen and Devin Bush.

That makes five Steelers on the reserve/COVID-19 list in just a little over 24 hours.

The team didn't say if the players tested positive or were exposed.

The Steelers take on the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday. Kansas City is currently dealing with its own COVID-19 outbreak: over a dozen players, including star offensive players Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, ESPN reported.

While the Chiefs have been hard hit by the virus, they've gone two days with no new positive COVID-19 tests, NFL insider Ian Rapoport said, citing a source.
