On his Twitter account Monday, Bettis wrote that he has mild symptoms and is isolating at home. Bettis said he has been vaccinated.
Bettis did not disclose whether he will be able to attend the Hall of Fame ceremonies this weekend. Polamalu is being enshrined Saturday as part of the 2020 centennial class. The 2021 class will be enshrined Sunday.
Polamalu announced Friday that he tested positive. Pro Football Hall of Fame president and CEO David Baker said in a statement that organizers are working with Polamalu the ensure he is enshrined “the way he should be – and that’s mindful of others in the centennial class, fans and everyone else in attendance.”
