Whilst the Titans Covid listed personnel havent been able to participate in team activities, have they been able to participate in virtual sessions with coaching staff to discuss gameplan/tactics etc. for the Bills game? Thanks. Yes, all virtual 1
NI Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks for the answers to my query above guys. 👍👍

YoloinOhio Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 If it’s a close contact, may not affect game status. They would lose practice time though

They just did a walkthrough yesterday, I would imagine most if not all of the coaching staff would have been there. Unless he/she was continuing to self isolate at home the whole team has been possibly exposed again. 2

My thought if this gets out of control was the NFL should give everyone a bye on week 17 to make up any missed games and push week 17 to week 18. That way the #1 seed will only have two weeks off between the regular season and the divisional playoff game. Sure about that? I'm not all concerned with the #1 seed resting. I'm concerned that say the Bills Titans play week 17 while their opponent the following week in the playoffs has a bye. That gives them a huge advantage. I recall in the four SB years, Bills had a bye 3 of the 4 years which always was a big help. IMO if the Bills were already in the playoff so are just playing Tenn for seeding, I'd rather forfeit the game than play while my opponent next week has a bye. I'm sure the league would not allow that, but I'd then play all backups, maybe only play 9 guys on the field. If Tenn was also in playoff contention I'd imagine they'd feel the same. Maybe by then there will be a dozen or so makeups, that changes things then. But I'd rather see the make ups between week 15 to 16 so this way everyone plays two games after that. If there are any required makeups in the last two weeks, NFL reverts to plan ZZ! 2 hours ago, mannc said: No, NFL players don’t have the same right to health information privacy as the rest of us. If that were true, there could never be an NFL injury report, so clearly there has been some HIPAA waiver somewhere along the line. If teams can release information about a player’s progress in recovering from an injury, then why can’t they say if a player is sick from covid? And a player showing some symptoms does not mean he is seriously ill. I don’t want to go too far down this road, because the Board’s covid discussion rules are very unclear to me, but I was responding to a post about a player’s statement that the league’s covid policy is not really about player safety. My point in response is that there seems to be no evidence that any players have become seriously ill from the virus ( as opposed to just showing symptoms). You certainly pointed out some facts that suggest it’s possible, but I still expect there would be reports in the media if that were the case, notwithstanding Vrabel’s comment about a “wide range of symptoms”, which could mean anything. Big difference the NFL is only allowed to report football related injuries. How often do you hear some player has some not football related thing and it's kept a big secret. Recall it happening with one of the Bills lineman Henderson was it, turns out he had Crohns desease if I recall, for months no one knew what was going on. Eventually it kind of leaked out or maybe Henderson announced it, don't recall exactly, but do know anything not football related is protected info. Not sure where Covid falls, but there are many league limitiations Edited October 11, 2020 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch 1
