Vikings' Cameron Dantzler Placed on Reserve/COVID-19 List Ahead of Packers Game

Tyler ConwayOct 28, 2020

The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the COVID-19/reserve list Wednesday.

Dantzler has recorded 24 tackles in four games this season. The NFL implemented the COVID list of any player who tests positive or has been in known contact with someone who has contracted the virus.

No positive tests for the Vikings have been announced.

Minnesota travels to Green Bay for a divisional matchup against the Packers on Sunday, so it's unlikely Dantzler will be available for that game. It's possible the 22-year-old could return for a Nov. 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions if he contracted the virus and is able to test negative in consecutive days between now and then.

First-round pick Jeff Gladney will likely step into the lineup with his fellow rookie out. The TCU product has been outplayed by the third-rounder out of Mississippi State this season, so the Vikings secondary could take a hit in coverage.
