A day after their season ended, the Steelers had to close their team facilities because of covid-19, meaning players could not clean out their lockers. It also will likely delay coach Mike Tomlin’s exit interviews with his players, which in a lot of cases will be true exit interviews, with many players expected to leave the team as unrestricted free agents.
In a prepared statement, the Steelers said, “We have sent home our coaching staff, players and other staff members out of caution after we had one player test positive for covid-19 that included several close contacts. We will continue to work with the NFL on contact tracing.”
