The New Orleans Saints have had five offensive coaches tested positive for COVID-19, questioning their status for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

However, a source from the team said: “We will be fine.”

Saints head coach Sean Payton said over the summer that coaches and team staff were 100% vaccinated.

The Saints play Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte after playing their Week 1 home opener at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville after being displaced by Hurricane Ida. They beat the Green Bay Packers 38-3.

The team exercises at TCU’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas.

ESPN’s Mike Triplett contributed to this report.
