The Chiefs have two players on the coronavirus list because of close contact with a barber, but they’ll be able to play Sunday if they continue to test negative. You can watch Pelissero break it all down below.

This is great news for the league and all the players involved. This game is happening Sunday no matter what happens with the testing.
According to Adam Schefter, the league is full speed ahead, even if star players test positive.
Bucs and Chiefs enter critical phase of COVID precautions. Any player or coach with a positive test beginning today will be ruled out for the Super Bowl. Same protocols as regular season. Game on without key players if positive

That means we have to keep our fingers crossed that Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and every other player on both squads continues to test negative.
As of Tuesday night, business seems to going well for Roger Goodell when it comes to defeating COVID.
