Is this currently asymptomatic, or asymptomatic the whole time?  And how long must they be asymptomatic?

No idea, I think at this point the NFL just wants the games played with as many players as possible

Cole Beasley and Gabe Davis are saved and their status didn't matter at all.  Shout out @HappyDays

 

They both were subjected to daily testing and ended up missing a game as a result. But I'm glad this change is happening just because it will make the playoffs less of a wildcard. If I were the NFL I would also freeze all covid testing of vaccinated players unless they were symptomatic. My worst fear is Allen is chosen for random testing a couple days before a playoff game and tests positive with no symptoms.

I'm a little bit unsure how the rule works. Is it 5 days from the positive test as long as you're asymptomatic at that time? Or 5 days from when the symptoms stop? What if a vaccinated player is randomly tested and tests positive but has no symptoms? Could they immediately be taken off the list the next day?

We've had many players, vaxxed and unvaxxed, miss games.

 

Glad to see the new guidelines. These men are in tremendous shape, for the most part. I can't imagine having to see Allen miss a playoff game when he has no symptoms or a runny nose.

So basically after a positive test, a player will be out for 5 days. After that 5 day period if they have no symptoms they can return to the team without additional testing. The rule is the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated players, the only distinction now is the testing frequency.

No, buried in there is a "test out" provision where vaccinated players can come back in less than 5 days with 2 negative tests. Of course the likely reason for becoming negative in less than 5 days is a false positive.

He should be back too. Although honestly would like to see more McKenzie

Mckenzie had an awesome game but Beasley has had 76 catches to date.  We can use both of them.

Well yeah Bease is going to have more catches since he's the starter and McK isn't on the field hardly at all when Bease is playing besides KR.. You can't get a lot of catches/stats when not playing. But yes obviously we can use both, I meant wanting to see more opportunities for McK.
