The unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers have had an unnamed player test positive for coronavirus, the team confirmed on Monday.

The Steelers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 24-19 to move to 8-0 at the top of the AFC North on Sunday.

But a Pittsburgh statement revealed a COVID-19 case had been discovered in the camp, with the player immediately isolated and set to be added to the reserve/COVID-19 list.

A team spokesperson said: "We have been in contact with the NFL and medical advisors to complete the necessary contact tracing."

The Steelers play the Cincinnati Bengals this week as they look to maintain their winning start in 2020.
