Bashaud Breeland: Tests positive for COVID-19
Rotowire
Breeland tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday after working out with the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Breeland was set to sign with Arizona after being waived by Minnesota last week, but he'll now need to clear the health and safety protocols. The Cardinals apparently still plan to sign the veteran cornerback once he clears the protocols, but it remains to be seen when that actually happens.
The veteran cornerback was initially added to Saturday's injury report as questionable for non-injury related reasons, but he was then outright waived hours later. Breeland had started each of the last four games, racking up 24 tackles, three passes defended and an interception during that stretch.
