A day after beating the Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Rams' Odell Beckham Jr. has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Tuesday.

The Rams have closed their training facility and entered the NFL's intensive protocols, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Los Angeles defeated its NFC West rival Arizona 30-23 in Monday Night Football action.

Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Tyler Higbee were added to the COVID-19 list ahead of the matchup. However, Los Angeles later activated Higbee due to a false positive, head coach Sean McVay said, according to the Los Angeles Times' Gary Klein.

Defensive backs Jordan Fuller, Tyler Hall, Terrell Burgess, and Juju Hughes, as well as tight end Brycen Hopkins, tackle Alaric Jackson, nose tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day, and defensive end Jonah Williams, were all also added to the Rams' COVID-19 list.

"The scary thing about all this to me is every single person is vaccinated that we're talking about," McVay told reporters, including ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. "That's the thing that's the most concerning about all of this, is that everybody has done exactly what they could."
