Elliott is the most notable NFL player to have tested positive for the coronavirus so far with the league about a month away from opening training camps. Saints coach Sean Payton also contracted the virus in March. The NFL and its franchises have safety measures in place in the event of a coronavirus outbreak. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh recently voiced some concerns with how the league is going to attack the coronavirus and its protocols.
The league already has felt the effects of the virus, with the 2020 NFL Draft being held virtually. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.
Texas is currently reopening as cases continue to climb across the state.
