Covid is real, regardless of your views about it, ideas on the vax etc. , it is miserable crap. I couldn’t believe it took some of these athletes so long to return to action, then I got it and yeah, I get it now. It’s not as simple as the flu, it can linger for what seems like forever. Expand My wife can attest to this as well. She got hit with it in October 2020 and she still isn’t 100%. She works out most days and is in generally good shape and health, but it’s still been a rough road back for her with exhaustion. She still has issues with smelling too.

I feel for him, it’s not fun. In context to the team, it may not be life threatening for 99.999999% of NFL athletes, but it sure can jack up your season. If anybody is on the fence about the vax, I’m sure Dion’s condition will be used an example to push them to get it. NFL careers are short, flirting with fire is probably not worth it. Guys will have weigh the options and decide what is right for them. I just hope everyone stays healthy and is able to perform at their best, for themselves and the team’s sake. Expand Did <McDermott actually say that? As if he is happy it hit him? I thought McDermott was smarter than to say something like that.

Expand He never said that in the first place so everyone can relax about his wording. It was just paraphrasing by DCofNC. The quote was posted on the previous page of this thread. Quote “He’s not close to where he needs to be to play and help us,” McDermott said, via Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. “He’s got a long road here. He’s going to control what he can control, and so are we. He’s got to continue to work hard to get himself back to where he’s — I mean, this is what, going on week four of training camp at this point? So, he’s missed a lot of time.” McDermott noted that there are “teachable moments as far as COVID goes” and that he hopes the situation “resonates with the people it needs to resonate with” as the Bills head toward the regular season.
