NFL has already said that they are prohibitting all activities on Monday the 30th and Tuesday the 1st. We may see more of these required days in the future. Not sure if they would delay an entire week at this point, but perhaps they will pause between regular and post season?

They should do something, imo, I doubt it gets better. Cases are still going up everywhere, no decline in sight.

It's not like delaying a week or two is going to change anything. At this point their choices are deal with it and make teams play with key players missing or cancel the season altogether. A two week delay will do nothing.

ETA: Definitely feels like they are pot committed at this point. I don't see any major change to policy coming.

Actually pausing would help contain any outbreaks. The goal of pausing team activities is solely to prevent spread among players, not to prevent all individuals from contracting covid19. I just don't see it happening during the regular season.

Or at the very least if they forge ahead and play it the Ravens may not have any skill players left by kickoff!

Owners will trot out a team full of practice squad players if it means getting TV revenue. They have made it crystal clear that safety is not that important

They very well may not have enough positional players to play. Additionally if they cannot contain the outbreak they will not play the game because of the increased close contact during games.

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+
Other than the typo, this post is aging well.......

More positives today ? I had heard if they had more today it would likely cause issues with tomorrow's game.

There hasn't been any reporting of positives yet so I don't think the situation has changed any from yesterday. Supposedly we should hear something within the next hour or so

Was a painful game to watch. I tell you though, makes me that much happier we acquired Buckner. What a diffference maker
