Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported on Monday that the Bucs’ rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn has been placed on the NFL’s reserve/Covid-19 list.
#Bucs rookie RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn is on the Reserve/COVID19 list as submitted to the NFL today.

The league’s new reserve list, put in place with the expectation that players will test positive leading up to and during the 2020 NFL season, accounts for players who have either tested positive for COVID or have been quarantined following contact with someone who has tested positive.
Teams are only allowed to disclose whether the player has been placed on the reserve list, but not whether the player is in quarantine or has actually tested positive.
A third-round pick out of Vanderbilt by way of Illinois, Vaughn is expected to compete for a significant role, presumably behind Ronald Jones II, in the Bucs’ backfield this upcoming season.
