Updating 10 positives between players, coaches, and support staff, with 4 of the positives identified Tuesday (that would make 6 on Monday).

^i assume you’re familiar with the concept of a lie by omission. That’s what would be happening if they simply ignore test results.

So Defector just did a write-up of what's going on here - and tabulated all the COVID moves the NFL has made to date by day of the week. Pretty interesting stuff... the money paragraph, if anyone is interested:

It is difficult to square how the NFL says their protocols work with the unequal distribution of risk we are seeing. Somehow, every week, players are taking COVID-19 tests on Saturday and not being placed on the list (be it for positive tests or close contact) on Sunday. By Monday, they need to be on the list. Someone with a conspiratorial mind might take that as evidence that the league is pulling some number of strings to make sure that the Saturday tests are being administered in some way so as to ensure their results won’t endanger the next day’s games.

It’s perhaps more damning for the league, however, if the protocols are actually being strictly followed and everything is being reported above board. In that case, these results reveal just how little repeated testing can actually tell us about who has COVID-19 on any given day, and further demonstrate how inaccurate the NFL’s elaborate testing apparatus really is. If all these protocols are meant to prevent infected players from being around their teammates and participating in NFL games—and the numbers tell us that is clearly not happening, unless you believe all those Ravens players somehow caught the virus and tested positive for it just hours after the conclusion of Sunday’s game—then what is the point of the protocols?

Steelers - Ravens game pushed back to Tuesday.

Pulling all the PIT and BAL players I can from my lineups. There's already the dreaded F word being used (forfeit).

I think we'll already know by Sunday morning if the game is likely to be forfeited/delayed until end of season.

If they can't contain the virus with today's or tomorrows results (remember results come in at night for those days) then I don't see how they will be able to play Tuesday.

An interesting fact was pointed out today. Had the game gone on as scheduled on Thursday night, about 1 hour before game time the ravens would have been told that Jackson had covid, could not play, and would have to isolate (along with any other close contacts) immediately. That certainly would have been bad for the NFL.

JT on covid list now

JT on covid list now

The Colts are going be way challenged this week. We also won't start Kelly, Buckner and Okereke. Travis Henry is going to run for 200+

James Connor tested positive. Wonder if McFarland will get a decent look?

My guess is Snell will take his role fully with so little time to adjust. McFarland will get some 3rd down work is my assumption

So, this means you think-
1- the Titans will destroy the Colts
2- There will be tons of garbage time
3- Tennessee is unhappy with their bench and will sign Travis Henry to back up Derrick Henry

In guessing Travis Henry could use the extra cash. Dude has got to be towing some major child support payments still.
