Edmonton Oilers defenseman Caleb Jones said Friday that he previously tested positive for COVID-19, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector.

The 23-year-old added that he was asymptomatic and doesn't know from whom he contracted the virus, according to Spector.

Jones attended practice Friday for the first time after missing the opening four days of training camp.

The NHL recently announced it was aware of 43 players who tested positive during Phase 2 of its return-to-play plan, which started on June 8.

Jones appeared in 43 games with the Oilers this season, recording four goals and five assists.
