NFL COVID THREAD

[Caliskinsfan]

Early reports were they tested before the game yet played anyway. That's not doing every correctly.

If true, fines and possibly worse forthcoming.

I haven’t seen any news of test positive players playing as of yet myself.

The NFL has strengthened its COVID-19 protocols following this week's Titans outbreak.​

The league has adopted a number of enhanced measures, including daily "point of care testing." All meetings must now be virtual, while PPE/face masks must be "worn on field by players and staff at all times." All players except quarterbacks must also wear gloves, and there can be "no team or player gatherings away from facility." These are more than just symbolic "COVID theater" measures, and speak to how worried the league is about runaway outbreaks amongst its players and personnel. Most of these measures are draconian and unfortunate, but that is going to be life for the NFL if it wants the 2020 season to proceed with as few disruptions as possible.

I looked at the schedule. Pittsburgh could play Tennessee on week 7, that's Tennessee's bye, give Baltimore the week 7 bye, then the Steelers/Ravens play week 8. Their original bye.

That Bills game is clearly in the crosshairs of being postponed at this point.

Yep

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Yep

What I’m REALLY interested to see at this point is where they determine the source of the outbreak to be. Because if there is any level of chicanery involved that put the team and other teams at risk, how does Goodell handle that?

Depending on the gravity of the failure of protocol, fines and forfeiture of future draft picks is what I’ve seen so far.
