Is Kirk Cousins under NFL Covid protocol?

Cousins, 32, returned to practice on August 5, 2021 after being placed on the Covid reserves list.

Cousins and quarterback Nate Stanley entered the NFL's protocol on July 31 after rookie Kellen Mond tested positive and the players were deemed as having close contact to him.

Cousins says that he has received six negative tests since he was last with Mond and did not exhibit any Covid symptoms.

The NFL player blamed the size of the meeting room for the exposure.

"The challenge was, the meeting room we met in was deemed to be too small for us to have been in a room together -- even if we were significantly apart from each other. So we've since moved to a different meeting room, and as I understand it, had we met in a larger room, I would not have missed practice," he said.

"Because I was not a close contact as deemed by actually being in contact. So it was disappointing to miss practice. In my entire college and pro career, I have not missed four practices. So to miss four practices in one week and not have COVID was frustrating, disappointing."
