EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have been operating this week under the NFL’s intensive virus protocols.
Five players remain on the COVID-19 reserve list.
One had to be hospitalized with breathing trouble. He was stable after initially being admitted to the emergency room. Coach Mike Zimmer declined to identify the player.
A person with knowledge of the situation speaking on condition of anonymity says the player is backup guard Dakota Dozier.
Dozier is vaccinated. He had to sit out the game at Baltimore along with safety Harrison Smith and center Garrett Bradbury.
