EDMONTON — Offensive lineman SirVincent Rogers of the Edmonton Elks confirmed Tuesday he's tested positive for COVID-19.
"I tested positive days ago for Covid, & the reservation I initially had about the vaccines has changed," Rogers tweeted. "Personally, I have only had minor symptoms... (nasal congestion, smell/taste was off, a bit sluggish, no pain, and no fever)."
Rogers also said he decided in May to receive two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
"I did so to protect myself, my family, & anyone else I'd encounter," Rogers said. "I urge anyone in doubt to consider the vaccines from a viewpoint of protection from Covid, not prevention.
"It might save your life, and at the least eliminate the life-altering symptoms commonly associated (with the virus)."
The six-foot-four, 319-pound Rogers opened the season on the six-game injured list.
Edmonton cancelled its walkthrough last Friday due to coronavirus protocols. The team's season-opening game against Ottawa went ahead as scheduled, with the Redblacks claiming a 16-12 victory Saturday night.
