Rams offensive lineman Brian Allen is first NFL player to test positive for COVID-19
Los Angeles Rams center, Brian Allen, is the first active NFL player to test positive for the coronavirus, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.
The 24-year-old said he started to feel symptoms about three weeks ago, after waking up and realizing he couldn’t smell or taste anything.
Allen is entering his third year in the NFL, and was training and undergoing treatment for a knee injury at the Rams facility in California. The facilities have since been closed and cleaned thoroughly, according to ESPN.
Allen becomes the first NFL player to test positive for the virus.
