The negative tests also include wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
According to CBS Sports, Beckham was sent home from practice with an illness on Thursday and speculation began that it could've been COVID-19.

Meanwhile, the #Colts are holding all virtual meetings today as they continue to go through the confirmation process for several initial positive COVID-19 tests.
For now, all games -- including Colts-Bengals and Falcons-Vikings -- remain on as scheduled.
