In a corresponding move, the team is placing both Nasir Adderley and Ryan Smith on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
As of now, it hasn't officially been reported that either Nas or Smith have contracted COVID or are even a close contact to someone else. As of yesterday, Adderley was dealing with migraines while Smith continues to rehab from a lingering lower-bosy injury.
Bandy was originally signed by the Bolts soon after training camp started along with three other former players from The Spring League. He was a former FCS All-American for the University of San Diego, setting numerous receiving records for the program before graduating.
