My doctor told me I could test positive for up to three months after having Covid. I wonder how many of these vaxed guys with Covid are actually testing negative twice in a row afterwards.  
 

Is there the same 10-day waiting period if they continue to test positive?

Are we sure Davis is still unvaxxed?

I asked this in another thread and apparently there’s some threshold number that comes back with your test and if you are under that amount the nfl considers the test negative

This is just the beginning with this, and it certainly won't be limited to the Bills.


The SB champion will be largely decided by great luck with COVID this year.

 

Without it, there's no way any team will win it all.

 

 

Great luck with what random vaccinated players the nfl decides to test lol I think everyone is getting this one…if one guy on the team has it most of the team probably does.  They really should come out and say ‘we’re only focusing on symptomatic cases’ or postpone this season honestly this whole singling out random people system doesn’t make any sense

Thanks for the info. Not certain, but didn’t they recently change the rule so vaxxed players who tested positive and were asymptomatic could return after just one negative test? Also I think vaxxed players who were sympathetic could be cleared following a negative test following 24 hours of being symptom free.

Under the previous protocols, a vaccinated individual who tests positive for COVID-19 has to produce two negative tests 24 hours apart before being cleared to return. The new protocols relax that requirement and could enable teams such as the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Football Team to get some players back for this weekend's games.

In creating the new return-to-play protocols, the NFL and NFLPA focused on a new metric that measures the viral load of a player, known as the "cycle threshold" (CT). In essence, the CT value can measure whether a player is still contagious, even if in some cases he would still test positive on a traditional test.

That testing can begin as soon as one day after the initial positive and could significantly shorten the amount of time a vaccinated player spends away from the team facility.

There are now three ways for a vaccinated player to return under the new protocols:

• Two PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests that are either negative or produce a CT value of 35 or greater.

• One PCR test that is either negative or produces a CT value of 35 or greater, and a negative Mesa test result taken with 24 hours of the PCR test. (Mesa tests usually return results in less than an hour.)

• Two negative Mesa tests.

According to NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, previous NFL test analysis has shown that players with CT values at the level of 35 or higher do not transmit COVID-19 and thus would not be contagious.

Recall after the Aaron Rodgers saga him bringing up that once he was positive, he'll no longer be tested for the next three months.  He brought this up in the context of "See I told you the NFL rules are stupid"

Tried to find the Patriots Covid list but no luck.  Anyone have that?  Or are they Covid free?

This is from Tuesday, so it may well not be up to date info. now:

 

The Patriots placed four players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, and linebackers Harvey Langi, Cameron McGrone, and Ronnie Perkins.

 

They join Patriots tight end Dalton Keene and guard Yasir Durant on a growing designation.
