CHARLOTTE — The Panthers on Monday placed offensive lineman Michael Schofield on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Schofield started Carolina’s first two games at left guard against the Raiders and Buccaneers. Since then, he’s had a limited role on special teams, including playing five snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Bears.
Teams may not disclose whether a player has tested positive for COVID-19 or whether he is quarantining because of close exposure to someone who has tested positive.
Schofield joins backup center Tyler Larsen as Panthers’ players currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Starting left guard Chris Reed spent the first few weeks of the regular season on the list and confirmed he had a symptomatic case of the virus. Reed has since recovered and started Carolina’s last four games.
The Panthers’ players, coaches, and staff are working remotely on Monday and Tuesday out
