Atlanta Falcons
Only rookie starting cornerback A.J. Terrell was placed on the reserve list. He was inactive against the Chicago Bears last week.
Kansas City Chiefs
Practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu tested positive for Covid-19. He serves as the scout quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. For example, his job this week was to imitate Cam Newton to help the Chiefs prepare. This led to this joke.
Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu tested positive for COVID, Ta’amu serves as Kansas City’s scout team quarterback and played the role of “Cam Newton” in preparation for this week’s game.
He obviously takes this job very seriously, copying Cam a bit too literally.
