Millions of $ at stake for players etc

How hard is it to isolate for a few more weeks?  
 

Do a TRAINING CAMP style competitive advantage?

 

take an already closed St John Fisher style college and stay in TRAINING CAMP style bubble for a few weeks or even until FEB!

 

That's what they're doing right now.

You have to wonder if riding the pine makes it a little less incentivizing to be completely locked down/careful. 

 

He's got a 2 month old baby.  Pretty sure he and his wife are careful and concerned.

I would not be surprised if going into the playoffs if teams crank up the team isolation/protocols. Much easier to get these guys to role with something that's at worst/best a month long.

If he's already had it he's far less likely to catch it again having built up immunity.

I get that, just wasn't sure if they "play it safe" with the NFL rules related to it is all.

I haven't heard of any special rules/exemptions for guys that have recovered but I also haven't really looked.

Damn Tight Ends! WTF is the matter with you guys? Can’t follow team guidelines? Undisciplined SOBs! 

Of course he’s not essential, but who else is he gonna drag down? 🤬

 

Hey, hey.  Chillax.  He may have followed all the team guidelines within the facility.  He may have followed all the guidelines about not getting together outside the facility.   He may have had 1 or 2 close relatives visit over the Holidays to see the 2 month old baby.  We don't know, don't judge.

 

Or, he may have been close enough to Yeldon at the wrong time although not determined to be a close contact.  That is the scary thought.

Two things I wonder about:

1) will they stop the needless hand shaking after games .. it is bizarre how they have all these protocols in place but then after the game they are hugging and otherwise getting close to the other team. Simply maddening. 
2) will players who already tested positive be exempt from the close contact protocol?

 

they sweat and slam into each other every play of the game but yeah...the end game handshake is maddening?

Yeah after the Denver game I was worried they might be easing up on things so hopefully this isn't too bad and gets everyone's minds right on focusing through this playoff run.

Do they no longer consider players that have had it a risk? 

I know there's the whole medical field debate but I'm just asking what the NFL ruling is in his case. Don't want to go down that other road. 

 

I don't know the answer.

Sounds good. My ex was in close contact after already having it and they made her quarantine and test again a week later after close contact. Not in a medical field or anything but I'm guessing they were just being super cautious.

 

Only reason the thought came to mind.

This.  Shake hands, do the bro hug, go Purell your hands from the dispenser in the tunnel, wash hands in the locker room, that's the least of the worries.

Kroft is out for the first playoff game. 10 day protocol 

 

Well, as long as he’s back for the Super Bowl!

I have a gut feeling that once playoffs start, these positive covid tests will magically go away. No way the NFL wants guys like Mahomes or Rodgers unable to play a playoff game
