Charissa Thompson on where NFL teams with positive COVID-19 tests stand

'The NFL is not immune to COVID,' Fox Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson tells 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'

Atlanta Falcons rookie cornerback A.J. Terrell recorded his first career interception in impressive fashion Sunday afternoon in his Week 6 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

With less than 6 minutes left in the first half, Terrell jumped at a pass from Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. The ball slipped through Terrell’s hands and he ended up securing the ball with his legs.

Terrell was stayed down on the field and helped stop any kind of Vikings momentum with the team already up 10 points in the game.

The Falcons’ first-round pick is playing in his fourth NFL game and his second game since he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after either contracting the coronavirus or coming into contact with someone who did earlier in the season.
