Tom Brady’s New England departure, Joe Burrow’s NFL debut, Pat Mahomes’ massive 10-year contract, these are just some of the out-of-the-box news from since the coronavirus outbreak began. The latest instalment in this series of COVID-19 news is the dismissal of rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand by Seattle Seahawks.

Rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand was signed by Seattle Seahawks earlier this year. He has previously played college football at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Despite playing cornerback in his sophomore year, Siverand’s played on special teams in the last two seasons. He arrived in Seattle with an outside shot of making the team roster for 2020.

However, it seems that Siverand will play no part in the NFL this year after he was sent home as per an official statement. NFL insider Tom Pelissero was the first to report on that development on Friday. As per his tweet, Pelissero said that Siverand was waived by the Seahawks after a video surfaced of him trying to sneak in a female inside the team’s hotel. His female companion wore a Seahawks jersey as she disguised herself when she entered the facility.

There were serious NFL guidelines and rules against such kind of behaviour within the controlled training bubble. In addition to that, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had also spoken about individual player responsibilities in an interview earlier.

“Rule number one here: Always protect the team. I’ll convey the degree of discipline we need here, every day. I’ll tell them your conscience is important; your conscience has to guide you,” Carroll told NBC Sports.
