The Facts: Kansas City became the latest franchise to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic Monday. Kelce tested positive and was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to the league's transaction wire. Kicker Harrison Butker and defensive back Charvarius Ward were also placed on the list, per the wire.

Diehards Line: The NFL's updated COVID-19 protocols have made it easier for players to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list, provided they're vaccinated, asymptomatic and test negative twice within one day. Players who are not vaccinated are subject to a mandatory 10-day quarantine, which would rule out a player for a game within that timeframe if he tested positive. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports Kelce is vaccinated, so he'll have to be asymptomatic and test negative twice to return. With five days left before rosters are finalized for Sunday's games, Kelce has time come off the COVID list.
