A Denver Broncos offensive lineman and Minnesota Vikings linebacker tested positive for COVID-19, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Broncos player is Graham Glasgow, reports NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Vikings player is Todd Davis, reports Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Denver previously placed offensive line coach Mike Munchak in isolation, though the club didn't reveal whether he tested positive or simply had close contact with someone who did.

Minnesota moved cornerback Cameron Dantzler to COVID-19 reserve Thursday without indicating whether he produced a positive test or was put on the list due to contact tracing.

Denver is scheduled to host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8, while Minnesota is slated to visit the Green Bay Packers.

Despite being cleared to practice Friday, the Broncos will work remotely and return to the field Saturday, according to Schefter. The Broncos reportedly instructed two additional players to isolate given their close contact with Glasgow, per Pelissero.

The NFL has encountered a flurry of COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the season but hasn't had to reschedule a game since Week 6.
