Giants place DB Ryan in COVID-19 protocol, iffy for Monday

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants defensive back Logan Ryan was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after having close contact with someone who has the coronavirus. His status for Monday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is uncertain. Coach Joe Judge said Friday that Ryan had a positive rapid COVID-19 test on Friday. He added the team was waiting for the result of a polymerase chain reaction test. The Giants had a number of false positive test results in the week leading up to their game with the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 7. Judge does not believe Ryan’s result is a false positive but would not say more about it. He did not practice Friday.
