A lab contamination caused 77 most likely false positive COVID-19 results of NFL players, according to BioReference Laboratories. The New Jersey lab said the test results on Saturday were contaminated during preparation at its facility. Eleven teams were affected by the apparently inaccurate findings, with the Vikings saying they had 12 false positives, the Jets 10 and the Bears nine. All individuals impacted have been confirmed negative and informed, according to the executive chairman of BioReference.
