The Facts: The Steelers have placed RB Jaylen Samuels and WR James Washington on the reserve/COVID list.

Diehards Line: The NFL’s new reserve/COVID-19 list category was created for players who either test positive for COVID-19 or who have been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person. If a player falls into either of these categories, his club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and that player is not counted on the active roster.
