Agent says RB OK, yet effects still might linger
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to his agent.
Rocky Arceneaux told the NFL Network on Monday that Elliott was feeling OK and recovering. Arceneaux did not immediately return messages seeking comment, but a person with direct knowledge of the diagnosis told The Associated Press that Elliott had the positive test about a week ago and could be described as symptomatic. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn't authorized to discuss Elliott's diagnosis publicly.
The Cowboys declined to comment, citing privacy laws.
Only players who have been rehabilitating injuries have been allowed inside team facilities during the pandemic shutdown. That hasn't included Elliott.
The NFL is in the process of establishing protocols for the return of players, including what would happen in the case of positive tests, but there is no timetable for their return. Training camps are supposed to start in a little more than a month.
Several players have gone public with their diagnosis, including star Denver pass rusher Von Miller. Los Angeles Rams center Brian Allen was the first to publicly acknowledge a positive test, on April 15.
Colts: Indianapolis will add career sacks leader Robert Mathis to their Ring of Honor this year. The induction ceremony will take place on Nov. 22 when the Colts play host to the Green Bay Packers.
49ers: Coach Kyle Shanahan was rewarded with a new six-year contract Monday after he took the team to the Super Bowl in his third season at the helm. The Niners are replacing the three years remaining on Shanahan's original six-year contract signed in 2017 to keep him under contract through 2025. ESPN first reported the new extension. The 49ers won just 10 games in Shanahan's first two seasons in San Francisco before a breakthrough in 2019. The Niners went 13-3 in the regular season, with the nine-win improvement the biggest in one season in team history. San Francisco earned the top seed in the NFC playoffs and then went to the franchise's first Super Bowl in seven years. The Niners blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter against Kansas City in that game and lost 31-20.
Ravens: Quarterback Lamar Jackson is fine following a somewhat scary incident. The league's reigning Most Valuable Player shared a video Sunday on Instagram of a mad dash in a pick-up beach football game. It has all the hallmarks of a Jackson scramble: He drops back to pass, pump-fakes a defender and then takes off. As Jackson reaches the edge of the beach, another defender approaches, and Jackson veers into the water. His momentum takes him into the path of a stationary Jet Ski, which he clears with ease.
