Dillon reportedly tested positive prior to a game against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 1. His positive test led to running back Jamaal Williams and linebacker Kamal Martin being put on the reserve/COVID-19 list as high-risk close contacts and both missed the game at San Francisco the following Thursday.
