The Chargers placed Hopkins (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Hopkins has been on point for most of his current nine-game run in L.A., missing one of 16 field-goal attempts and two of 25 point-after tries. The production amounts to 7.6 points per game, but now he's in danger of logging his first absence as a member of the Chargers. Fortunately, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to changes to the return-to-play guidelines, giving players like Hopkins who tested positive for the virus to get out of league protocols in five days versus 10, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
