Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly tested positive for COVID-19 and will not practice Wednesday, according to the team.
Given the new protocols the NFL put in place for the 2022 season, Kelly must isolate for five days after a positive test. That means Kelly is not expected to play in the preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday.
