The Cal player who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week after his daily antigen test and follow up PCR test remains asymptomatic. He was the first member of the football program to test positive since Cal began daily testing at the start of October. Because of school and Berkeley Public Health protocols for contact tracing, the athletics department said several players are in quarantine, which affected the team’s ability to field a competitive roster.

Cal coach Justin Wilcox and Cal athletic director Jim Knowlton both agreed that team would be missing too many players to be able to adequately compete against Washington on Saturday. They said the Bears would have been left with very few scholarship players for the scheduled game at Memorial Stadium.

Wilcox had told reporters Wednesday the large number of players who are in quarantine would present “a significant hurdle” for the openers.
