Packers vs. 49ers 'All Clear' to Be Played Amid Multiple COVID-19 Positive Tests

The NFL has provided the "all clear" for Thursday's game between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. 

The 49ers have placed Kendrick Bourne, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list, which is utilized for players who either tested positive for COVID-19 or had close contact with somebody diagnosed with the virus.

The Packers have also used the designation for AJ Dillon, Kamal Martin and Jamaal Williams.

The NFL has shifted multiple games as teams experienced COVID-19-related issues, so many likely wondered whether Thursday's matchup was in jeopardy.

The 49ers announced Wednesday they were shutting down their team facility and working remotely for the day because a player tested positive.

However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the NFL was forging ahead "barring an unexpected outbreak." Schefter also spoke to an official who said there was a "0.0 percent chance" of a postponement or cancellation.

With Dillon and Williams unavailable, the Packers will potentially be down to their fourth-string running back since Aaron Jones is considered questionable with a calf injury.

The situation is far worse for the 49ers, who will be without Bourne, Aiyuk, Williams, Samuel, Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle. San Francisco has a league-high 14 players, including Nick Bosa, Raheem Mostert, Solomon Thomas and Dee Ford, on injured reserve.
