The inauspicious start to Kadarius Toney’s NFL career continued on Thursday as the New York Giants placed the first-round pick on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Toney reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 prior to landing on the list, so it’s not a close contact situation. The good news is that he’s not feeling sick or experiencing any sort of symptoms.

In accordance with league protocols, Toney is now isolating and attending team meetings remotely. He will remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list until he tests negative back-to-back, which means he’ll likely miss the start of training camp.
The positive COVID-19 test is just the latest setback for Toney. During rookie minicamp, he dealt with a footwear issue and suffered a minor injury. He later held out of OTAs because his contract had not been signed and then missed some time due to a family emergency.
Despite the football issues, Toney has had time to record and release his latest rap video.
