The Houston Texans have closed their facilities after a player tested positive for COVID-19.

Houston will conduct Thursday's operations virtually after consulting with the NFL and medical experts.

The player, who was not identified by the team, immediately went into self-isolation and contact tracing is underway.

The Texans are scheduled to play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
