The Houston Texans closed their facility and will work virtually on Thursday after a player tested positive for COVID-19.

Outside linebacker Jacob Martin is the player who tested positive, sources told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Houston's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy following Thursday's test results.

Martin has two sacks and one forced fumble across seven games this season.

The Texans added linebackers Whitney Mercilus and Dylan Cole to the reserve/COVID-19 list due to contact tracing, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
