Up to two weeks. This whole process is so convoluted. 

I agree, just think 3 days is a bit soon to follow precautions. I agree with testing normal, just not sure if 3 days is enough time. Who knows.

While everyone else was in 2012- Teddy Bridgewater was stunting on us in 2020.

1. Ow. Ow. Ow.

2. TePPE Bridgewater? I'll see myself out.

At least that player didn't play in many snaps. Hopefully no one else on their roster who played a lot more snaps was infected and shedding virus during the game.

3 days is definitely enough time. The average incubation is around 4-5 days and 3 days has a high occurrence. Absolutely the smartest thing we could do. If anyone did contract the virus from the Falcons player then we should feel confident that it is being isolated and isn’t then being spread to other members of the team preventing an outbreak on the team.

I agree. early mitigation is key.

Sometimes taking you out of your normal schedule can make you more focused.  The Titans practiced 3 times in the last 16 days and thoroughly whupped the Bills.

The gloves thing is funny because unless they are changing gloves every 2 minutes it becomes no different than bare skin.

Doesn't it take two weeks after exposure? 

 

It can be between two days and two weeks for symptoms to show. Infection can begin before that time and patients are generally infectious to others BEFORE and during symptoms exhibit. It's that "infectious before symptoms" part that is making this so hard to get a hold of -- people are infecting others before they even know they are sick.

It's a mess and it's going to be one for a while.  We just have to take precautions, be prepared to adjust and just keep moving ahead day to day.

Practice is on for today.

Due to the recent Tennessee Titans outbreak, the NFL has implemented new protocols this month to limit the spread of COVID-19. Those new protocols include that anyone with “high risk” close contact exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual must be isolated for at least five days, even if the person is negative and remains asymptomatic.

Davidson [the Falcon player] played 12 snaps against the Panthers on Sunday, all in the first half. Three snaps were on special teams, while the other nine were on defense. He made contact with at least six Panthers players, according to film analysis by The Observer, including right guard John Miller on five plays, left tackle Russell Okung on three plays, center Matt Paradis on two plays, left tackle Taylor Moton on two plays, left guard Chris Reed on one play and backup lineman Trent Scott on three special teams plays.

Teddy laughs at the "exception of the quarterback's throwing hand" statement. Teddy 2 gloves FTW.
