Devin White gave Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans an encouraging sign on Friday despite his positive test for COVID-19.
White was among three Bucs defensive players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. White reportedly tested positive for the virus, while Shaq Barrett is on there as a close contact.
#Bucs LB Devin White tested positive for COVID-19, while teammate Shaq Barrett landed on the COVID list as a close contact, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Both are out for Sunday, but Barrett would be on track to return for the wild-card round if he keeps testing negative.

The No. 5 overall pick in 2019, White has been a monster for the Bucs. He has 140 tackles, 9.0 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss this season.
Though White will not play in Week 17, he is hoping to return for the playoffs.
