Snead said that he was experiencing symptoms and is in a "good spot" right now. He was days away from receiving his second vaccination dose.
Because of the positive test, Snead will not join the rest of the Rams contingent at the team's draft headquarters in Malibu, Calif., and instead will work remotely from his garage. The team unveiled plans earlier this week to conduct their draft in a 9,000-square foot beach house, complete with a pool and views of the Pacific Ocean.
