The Indianapolis Colts will reopen their practice facility Friday after four individuals’ retests for COVID-19 confirmed they were negative, the team announced.
The team closed its facility Friday morning after initial positive tests. They involved one player and three staff members, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Indianapolis is scheduled to have a home game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals (1 p.m. ET).
“After consultation with the NFL and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Allen Sills, the team will open the practice facility this afternoon under the league’s intensive protocol and will continue preparation for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati,” the team’s statement said.
The Atlanta Falcons closed their facility Thursday following a second positive test for COVID-19; it was reopened Friday. The Tennessee Titans played Tuesday following a 16-day layoff because of an outbreak, and the New England Patriots have twice had their original Week 5 matchup against Denver postponed following four positive coronavirus tests by players. They’re set to play Sunday.
