The Los Angeles Rams have canceled Friday’s practice after two members of the organization received COVID-19 test results that require additional testing.

In a statement, the team said it canceled practice ahead of Sunday’s game in Inglewood against the 49ers out of an abundance of caution. The two organization members received test results Thursday night that require additional testing Friday, the team said.

All team meetings Friday will be held virtually.

The NFL faced a setback earlier this week due to the coronavirus pandemic. A Thanksgiving Day game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens was postponed to Sunday because of COVID-19 concerns, then it was moved again to Tuesday. A wave of Ravens, including Baltimore's league MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple media outlets.
