The coronavirus has caused some major issues for the entertainment industry and the XFL recently suspended the rest of their season due to the pandemic.

Now Pro Football Talk is reporting that a Seattle Dragons player has tested positive for coronavirus. The name of the player has not been released.

However, it was noted that the player did play in the Seattle Dragons’ two most recently games against the Houston Roughnecks and the St. Louis Battlehawks.

“The league is alerting players, staff, vendors and partners associated with the Dragons, Roughnecks, and BattleHawks, as this player also participated in the February 29 game in St. Louis,” the league said in a statement. “The XFL is monitoring the situation closely and taking every measure necessary in accordance with recommendations set forth by the CDC.”

The player also reportedly told the team’s medical staff on Tuesday that he was feeling ill and he was placed into quarantine.
