Chargers' Andre Roberts: Lands on COVID-19 list
The Los Angeles Chargers placed Andre Roberts on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.According to Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times, head coach Brandon Staley labeled Roberts as day-to-day, which would seem to suggest that the 33-year-old wideout is on the list as a vaccinated player that tested positive for the virus. Per the NFL's new COVID-19 protocols, Roberts will be eligible to rejoin the team as soon as he's deemed to be asymptomatic. Roberts thus has an outside shot of gaining clearance prior to Sunday's game against the Texans. He's appeared in eight games for Los Angeles since signing with the team in October, carrying three times for 19 yards and logging no targets while making his biggest impact for the Chargers as a return man.
