According to reports, the re-test of New Orleans Saints FB Michael Burton has come back negative, which means Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions will take place.
Let’s go!
Good news for the Saints: I'm told the re-test of the player who tested positive came back negative along with a negative rapid test. The rapid tests they did of the other players also came back negative.

The Saints have had four players get false positives, including players that had the antibodies. Sidenote: We also don't know if this particular player had the antibodies so what we thought and what the team thought might've been very different last night https://t.co/ouyQkhTo4W

Just before midnight on Saturday, news broke that a New Orleans Saints player, who had been on the team flight to Detroit, had tested positive for COVID-19. That player was later reported to be former Detroit Lions FB, Michael Burton.
Following the positive test result, Burton was re-tested to see if the initial result was a false-positive, and according to reports, it was!
Play ball!
