Mikie2times Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just based on the timing the vaccine was released, when the Delta strain is supposed to really hit hard, then a low probability of a vaccinated/infected person even going for testing, then the frequency of testing done in the NFL (less for vaccinated players, but still will be done). The NFL might have one of the better environments we will find in the coming months to understand rates of breakthrough infections against variants as well as decreased immunity as whole. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somewhere that the NFL was going to reevaluate how often they were going to test vaccinated players, it was once a week. They should probably just test everyone everyday to make it even and be extra cautious. Of all the things Bease has said, his point on this is right. Vaccinated players need to be tested every day. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 With news like this I support every player, coach and anyone that comes close contact with the team should be tested daily vaccinate and unvaccinated. It’s the right thing to Do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be able to return to practice after two negative tests. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/28/jerry-hughes-headed-to-nfi-list-with-calf-strain/ Hopefully everyone back soon ...

Tweaked during off-season or something from last season I can't remember? The good news is Hughes doesnt need this time.....gives an opportunity to evaluate some other players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 What would be the down side to testing all players daily regardless of vaccination status? Other than expense, I can't really think of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseBill Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'm kind of pissed that Jerry did not get the calf vaccine. As an older player, isn't he in a vulnerable group for those kinds of tweaks? What was he thinking? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Not worried about Dawkins and Ike seems like a mild setback as they will hopefully only be out for a week or two. Hughes is a bit worrisome, hoping it is a mild injury just odd to see a calf injury. Not a great start to camp but better to have these small issues early in camp.

FilthyBeast Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'm a bit concerned with Hughes injury. This is likely his final season in Buffalo and really need him 100% with no lagging type injury excuse if the dline doesn't produce again this year.

Desert Bills Fan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Agree that Hughes missing camp reps is not a problem. Hope he recovers completely in time for the season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybrew1 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Who the hell is our back up LOT? With Nsekhe gone I have no idea. Are we starting the rookie Brown at LT? Are we jumbling our line? Moving Williams to left (he hates that!) and starting Brown at right? This easily could turn into a big trouble spot for our boys in blue this fall. Can Brown play as a rookie? Jery Hughes embarrassed Becton on the Jets. Speaking of Hughes, why haven't we drafted a Jerry Hughes clone yet? You know, someone that can actually hit the QB? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Dawkins & Ike Boettger placed on Covid/Reserve list Beane announced before the start of practice that Dawkins and Boettger were the team’s latest cases after dealing with a few during the offseason. He said one of the players was vaccinated and one wasn’t, and both will have to make it through the protocols before they return to the team. Beane also said the Bills are over 80% with players who’ve had at least one vaccination shot. Boettger and Dawkins may be the latest implementation of Schroedinger’s Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
