Beasley and teammate Gabriel Davis have been removed from the Bills' facility and now must undergo a five-day reentry process after they were deemed close contacts of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patriots QB Cam Newton currently is stuck in the same five-day process, albeit for different reasons. Beasley and Davis thus figure to miss the entire week of practice as well as the preseason finale against Green Bay on Aug. 28. Beasley probably wouldn't have played anyway, given his lengthy NFL track record and familiarity with OC Brian Daboll's scheme. The veteran slot receiver likely will return to practice next week, giving him two weeks to gear up for a Sept. 12 season opener against Pittsburgh.
