Broncos' Mike Ford: Placed on COVID list
Ford (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Ford was one of four Broncos to land on the reserve/COVID 19 list Thursday, all of whom tested positive for the virus according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The 26-year-old cornerback suffered a knee injury in Week 5 and was already ruled out for the Broncos' Week 6 matchup against the Raiders. The majority of Ford's snaps have come on special teams, so his absence should not have much of an impact on Denver's defensive scheme.
