UNDATED (AP) — Washington All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff is going on the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list.
Scherff and fellow offensive lineman David Sharpe became the fifth and sixth players at the NFL team’s training camp to go into virus protocol. Roughly 60% of Washington’s players are fully vaccinated. That mark ranks last in the league.
Coach Ron Rivera has expressed concerns about how virus-related absences will affect the team’s performance.
Also around the NFL:
— Browns running back Nick Chubb has agreed to a three-year, $36.6 million contract extension, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Chubb has developed into one of the NFL’s best backs in three years and was entering the final season of his rookie contract. He rushed for 1,067 yards last season despite missing four games with a knee injury.
— The Colts have signed veteran quarterback Brett Hundley, one day after the team said Carson Wentz would be out indefinitely with an injured foot. Hundley has spent time with Green Bay, Arizona and Seattle, playing in 18 games and started nine in his six-year career.
