Chiefs Placing Seven Players On COVID-19 List Including WR Tyreek Hill

Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are placing WR Tyreek Hill, CB Rashad Fenton and TE Blake Bell on the COVID-19 list Tuesday. 

According to Schefter, other players are likely to be added to the list with one source telling him: “It’s a mess.”

The full list of players, according to Field Yates, includes:

1. WR Tyreek Hill
2. TE Blake Bell
3. LB Nick Bolton
4. CB Rashad Fenton
5. G Kyle Long
6. OT Lucas Niang
7. CB Armani Watts

This comes a day after the Chiefs placed TE Travis Kelce, K Harrison Butker and CB Charvarius Ward on the COVID-19 list.

Schefter says that all of these players are questionable to play in Week 16. 

Hill, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million contract when the Chiefs signed him to a new three-year $54 million extension that includes $35.2 million guaranteed in 2019. 

In 2021, Hill has appeared in 14 games for the Chiefs and caught 102 passes for 1,178 yards receiving and nine touchdowns.
