Hayward (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hayward has played nearly every defensive snap since the Raiders' Week 8 bye, but his availability is now in question while on the COVID-19 list. Amik Robertson and Keisean Nixon should see more playing time if Hayward is forced to sit out, especially if Brandon Facyson (illness) also remains on the reserve list.
