The Latest on the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on sports around the world:
The Las Vegas Raiders have placed linebacker Cory Littleton on the COVID-19 list.
The team made the announcement after practice Thursday. Littleton joins right tackle Trent Brown as Raiders currently on the COVID-19 list.
The list is used for players who either test positive for COVID-19 or have been quarantined after having been in close contact with someone who has been infected.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Kyle Van Noy and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins went on the COVID-19 list Thursday, the latest setback for a team already in the NFL’s intensive protocol for the coronavirus.
Both players are starters. Reserve receiver Matt Cole also went on the list, and receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. was activated from the list.
The Dolphins had five assistant coaches unavailable for last week’s game at Arizona because of COVID-19 protocols, and at least one assistant tested positive. That forced the team to limit practice activities and meet virtually.
Miami hosts the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Oregon State says one player has tested positive for COVID-19 and three others have been isolated.
The Beavers (0-1) continued to prepare for Saturday night’s game at Washington, athletic director Scott Barnes said. The four players impacted will not be available.
Oregon State expects to identify the players before game time and will do the same with any players that test positive going forward.
The player tested positive on Monday, and the result was confirmed by another test. All of the players impacted must remain in isolation for at least 10 days.
Head coach Jonathan Smith told the team about the situation before practice on Thursday.
The Chicago Bears activated backup safety Deon Bush from the Reserve/COVID-19 on Thursday.
Bush was one of several Bears players placed on the list last week because of positive coronavirus tests or close contacts. The team also canceled practice and closed its facility for a day.
Bush has played in six games this season and has an interception.
The Bears have lost three in a row. They host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.
Georgia equestrian head coach Meghan Boenig has tested positive for COVID-19.
The school says she has gone into isolation and will miss Friday’s meet at South Carolina.
Assistant coaches Sara Parr and Anna Becker will guide the team during Boenig’s absence.
UConn basketball coach Dan Hurley is considering delaying the start of his team’s season after a player’s positive coronavirus test last week forced the program to suspend all activities for two weeks.
Hurley said Thursday that he hopes the team will be able to get back to practice on Nov. 19 and play its first games on Nov. 25 and Nov. 27. But contracts for those games have not been signed and Hurley says ramping up practice after two weeks off will be difficult.
He says the team’s priority is being ready for Big East Conference play on Dec. 11.
The Baltimore Ravens say a player has tested positive for the coronavirus. The team says the player — whose name was not released — immediately began to self-quarantine.
The organization is now in the NFL’s intensive protocol.
The Ravens say there were no high-risk contacts, and no other player or staff member has been required to isolate.
All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey returned Wednesday after being on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Serbian soccer federation says defender Luka Milivojevic has tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of the European Championship playoff match against Scotland.
The federation says the 29-year-old Crystal Palace defender left the squad’s training ground near Belgrade and put himself in isolation.
German soccer club Hoffenheim says a sixth player has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Hoffenheim says defender Kevin Vogt was found to be positive in a test taken Wednesday after an earlier sample gave an inconclusive result.
The whole team was placed in isolation on Wednesday.
Five other Hoffenheim players and two staff members have tested positive for the virus in the last week. Two of those players were only found to be positive after they had joined up with their national teams.
Two more Hoffenheim players were withdrawn from their national teams as a precaution despite testing negative.
