INGLEWOOD, Calif. (CNS) — The Los Angeles Rams placed punters Johnny Hekker and Corey Bojorquez on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list is for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person.

Teams are not allowed to comment on a player's medical status other than referring to roster status under a policy agreed to by the NFL Players Association, the union representing the league's players.

Without a punter on the roster, kicker Matt Gay handled punting duties for Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders at SoFi Stadium, punting in a game for the first time since 2011, when he averaged 50.1 yards on 10 punts for Orem (Utah) High School.

The Rams signed Bojorquez as a free agent in April after he punted three seasons for the Buffalo Bills, averaging 45 yards per punt. Hekker averaged 45.6 yards per punt in 2020, the least of his nine seasons in the NFL. Hekker is a four-time Pro Bowl selection, most recently in 2017.
