Newest Green Bay Packer Jared Veldheer now on COVID-19 list

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have placed offensive tackle Jared Veldheer on the reserve/COVID-19 list just one day after announcing they had signed him off the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad.

The reserve/COVID-19 list is for a player who either tests positive or COVID-19 or has close contact with someone who’s infected.

Veldheer was the Indianapolis Colts’ starting left tackle for each of their last two games, including a 27-24 AFC first-round playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills last week.

The Colts had activated Veldheer from their practice squad for game day rather than officially signing him to their 53-man roster. That enabled the Packers to sign him this week.
