The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday that two players have tested positive for COVID-19.

In a statement, the Bengals say they are following all applicable protocols and have not been in the team facility since Wednesday.

Cincinnati is on a bye this coming weekend and will not be back in its facility until next week. The team says it will continue testing players daily in line with NFL bye week protocols.

The 2-5-1 Bengals are scheduled to return to action on Nov. 15 at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
