NFL COVID THREAD

[BigKen]

Just received a an Alert from the Patriots.com.

The NFL tests every player on Saturday and every played after the game on Sunday. All players in the Sunday games
have tested negative on Saturday. 8 Tennessee Titans were found to be positive for Covid-19 after Sunday's game.

The Titans have shut down all football operations as of 10:30 this morning.

The NFL has prepared for this. I think they are pretty shocked this hasn’t been worse.

Agree. Me too.

 

[BigKen]

Sorry. I created a thread as soon as I got an alert from the Patriots that 8 Titan have tested positive and all Titans ops have been shut down.

Third thread addressing this news. Hopefully mods will merge thread soon.

Yeah, we knew this was going to happen. I can't see them playing if they can't practice or meet all week.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

No worries. We need an ongoing thread for this regardless. There will be more positive tests, no matter the excellent precautions the NFL has been taking.

 

[Draft Crazy]

NFL was expecting this and have prepared for it. Roster rules were set in place for this. Sucks but expected.

Alright, we'll see how they're planning on dealing with this. Would be hard to make them play with no practice

For a virus with a 99.95% survival rate for people under the age of 70 and most people need to be tested to know if they ever even had it.

What’s your point? This thread is about the impact on NFL games, not survival rates.

Bit of back stepping...

Crud, do I need to bench Henry this week? Already down a few WR's with hammy issues.

I thought you were a mod?

Gave that up a loooooooooog ass time ago.

The Vikings shut down too as a precaution. Smart play might be to bet against both the Titans and Vikings this week if they can't practice.

Going to be damn interesting to see if any Viking players who they played on Sunday ended up catching it. Having COVID would definitely help explain their play in the 4th quarter!

So if they tested negative on Saturday.....and tested positive after the game.....does that mean they caught it from MN? How long does it take to start testing positive?
