Seahawks prepare for winless Jets while holding COVID-19 at bay

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seahawks have done as well as anybody in the NFL at keeping COVID-19 from derailing their season.

The team has placed just one player on the reserve/COVID-19 list during the season, that coming last weekend. Head coach Pete Carroll said that player was put on the list due to a close contact and not a positive test.

Carroll has preached to his players the importance of doing everything possible to avoid the virus since training camp and has even created a little distancing competition within the Seahawks facility as a way to increase awareness.

The Hawks are preparing for the 0-12 Jets, but Carroll says they’re not looking past the game Sunday.

Pregame is at 11 a.m. with kick-off at 1:05 p.m.
