UPDATE:
Adam Schefter has just reported that the Chargers player to test positive for COVID-19 was offensive guard Ryan Groy.
Groy has been the team’s starter at right guard while Trai Turner has been injured and it’s likely he, too, will likely miss Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
The Chargers' player who tested positive for COVID-19 and began a self quarantine is OL Ryan Groy, per source.

This is the second-known positive test to come out of the NFL this week after the New York Giants announced they had one within the last 24 hours, as well. They have already announced that offensive guard Will Hernandez has been placed on the team’s COVID-19 list.
It didn’t take long for the Giants to make the move with Hernandez, so we should learn who the positive player is in a matter of hours. We’ll update you all as soon as the news drops.
