Star Lotulelei OUT with COVID - Could Miss Next Week Too

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

This dude sat out a year and then didn't get vaccinated? How backwards is that. Good lord

[Sugar High JA17]

Star Lotulelei aimed for the stars and landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list instead!

To be fair, whether he got vaccinated or not doesn't really count towards today. If he misses the Colts game, however... (unless he comes down with bad symptoms).

 

Hope he recovers quickly.

I thought this past summer he was just a close contact and didn't actually get Covid?

We don’t know for sure.  This summer he was not vaccinated and I remember McDermott being asked about it.  
 

If he still is not vaccinated then yeah he won’t be back for 10 days which means he can’t play until Thanksgiving.   
 

This is a big loss IMO.  Dropping this game and/or Indy can really hurt their chances this season 

won 13 without him . .... would want him to play but I think we will survive.

Wait he sat out last year for fear of COVID and is unvaccinated?

 

My understanding is it has more to do with his religion.  He is a very devout Mormon.

True, but he would have been less likely to catch it for today's game, and even then, probably wouldn't be a concern for next week. This world is crazy man, logic has been eliminated

What a joke this has become. It should’ve been mandatory from the start.

 

Its starting to affect most teams and will certainly knock out some players come playoff time.

I mean I don’t even care about that. Star pissed on the Bills heads and told them it was raining.

Ask Aaron Rodgers.

What’s infuriating about it is that we probably would’ve made the SB with him last year. Tampa would’ve stomped us but still.

Correct…. But if he is vaccinated he would be able to return after two negative tests within 24 hours.  So it’s possible he returns next week.  If he’s unvaccinated he can’t return until the middle on next week

Let’s not go crazy.

Rough. This is the time of year where we are going to see a lot of positives. Just hope he comes back strong.

Just my speculation but isn’t Star from Utah?  It makes me wonder if he’s Mormon/LDS? I believe their religion is against vaccines - not just COVID but all vaccines.  I could be wrong - but when you hear about religious exemptions I think that many times it’s LDS

[NewEra]

And we play the colts run game next week.  Bwahahahahha.   

[BearNorth]

This is from August of this year: 

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints renewed its prior calls to members to get a COVID-19 vaccine and to wear face masks in public gatherings Thursday.

Church leaders said in a statement that available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective and urged members to help limit the spread of the virus. The message was the latest in a series of statements from church leaders encouraging vaccination efforts against COVID-19.

 

 

[Coach Tuesday]

Losing three players from the middle of the defense could spell trouble, if not this week then certainly against Indy.

[FireChans]

I think we win but the spread is in grave danger

I’m not so sure that Star is the difference between winning and losing in KC

[MarkyMannn]

So does he have Covid or just been around someone with it? That wasn't clear to me.
