With the CDC’s new recommendations, do we know how this will impact those already on the list?

[richNjoisy]

My understanding is the NFLPA and the NFL are discussing shortening the days out from 10 to 5.  Still TBD.

[Reks Ryan]

I see that the Falcons added 5 guys to their Covid list since Sunday.   I haven't paid attention to the Falcons this year.   Anyone know which of these guys have  been impact players for them?

The only player who seems to be a regular starter is Tyeler Davison: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/atl/2021.htm

 

Davison has started a lot of games for NO and ATL over the last 6 seasons: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaviTy01.htm. No idea how good he is, however.

Patterson and Pitts are their only threats on offense. Ridley is still out due to mental health.

 

Oh wait, just saw you were asking about that list... their defense has been awful, so I'd say no one on that list or on their defense as a whole have been impact players

CDC shortened it if you are asymptomatic.  NFL will likely follow

Based on the time it will take to get this done, and the fact that I think the NFL still wants to incentivize players to get vaccinated, I do not think the NFL shortens the window until the playoffs, where they will want to protect ratings/Aaron Rodgers from missing games. 

Davis nor Beasley will be back for ATL.

Beasley is eligible to come off the list this Thurs or Fri (depending upon the date of the sample that put him on the list, 12/20 or 12/21 - he went on 12/21).   So he could be back for Atlanta under the old regulations.

 

Davis went on the list Fri 12/24 so not eligible to come off until 1/2 or 1/3 (depending on the date of the sample that put him on the list).  He's out unless the NFLPA/NFL "step on the gas" about new rules based on new CDC recommendation.

CDC shortened it to 5 days if you're asymptomatic followed by 5 days of masking.  Would the players wear masks on the field?

Star on the list for 15 days lol.

who?

Why is that LOL?

 

If he was on it for 15 days - he was probably symptomatic and who knows how ill.

 

Others have hit 12+ days.

 

I do not see anything funny with it - sorry.

Beasley could be back depending on symptoms.

 

10 days is Friday - He should clear Sat in time for Sunday’s game.

He was pretty sick

It was reported he missed two days of practice last week for personal reasons, so he’s off the Covid list now right?

Yes, he has been off the list for a while. However when he got Covid, he was reportedly sick, so quarantines and 10 day rules were secondary if he was too ill to play.

Thanks.  
 

Two days off for personal reasons suggests the big guy is facing a lot of adversity. Hope all is well with his family.

He didn't practice for a few days last week, missed the game, and is out this week so it's apparently pretty bad.
