What the team will be looking for now is to see if an outbreak within the organization has begun. Hopefully, it caught this positive case early enough to inhibit spread amongst other coaches and players.
If it does end up looking like an outbreak is occurring, chances are good the Dolphins will have to reschedule their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals.
