I''m not arguing, generally curious where you got this take from? I read the memo screenshotted by Jourdan Rodrigue yesterday and my interpretations was that negatives tests were still needed in every scenario listed on that memo.
You want to pick a fight!!!

Just Kidding, no arguments but it's been posted several times on this thread.

I have a post on page 17 of this thread. That's the best I can summarize it.

Also, I think the first half of page three of the NFL memo (on Jordan Rodrigue's Twitter) explains it in detail.

There is also an ESPN article from yesterday under Dan Graziano's name.
On page 19 of this thread, I posted the following excerpt from that article:
"In creating the new return-to-play protocols, the NFL and NFLPA focused on a new metric that measures the viral load of a player, known as the "cycle threshold" (CT). In essence, the CT value can measure whether a player is still contagious, even if in some cases he would still test positive on a traditional test."

Surprised that none of these players are "officially off the covid list" yet, especially Ramsey who's been on the longest. Is he getting (probably false) positives every day since?


i'd rather the games be moved to Tuesday anyway since it gives Donald's knee a few more days rest.

Who sings the theme some for a Tuesday night football?
I do! Here are the lyrics (sung to tune of All My Rowdy Friends):

It's a Tuesday night party!
Get ready for some action!
As long as tests stay negative and the NFL issues no retractions...

All my fully vaxxed friends (including booster shots), with the requisite documentation are here on Tuesday night!

BAM!

It sounds like some players are, but it hasn't been announced yet. I'll bet they are waiting to do it in batches, not a trickle.

OBJ tested negative. That's one!

Agree, and I will remain hopeful. However, there will also likely be additional players that will test positive and be added to the COVID-List. Could be like a revolving-list that changes daily. A Stafford or a Kupp could test positive on Monday and be out Tuesday.

Higbee is back on the COVID-List, along with three PS players (Lawler, Haley and Demby).

Unless there is a major change in NFL COVID policy, this will be a daily factor for the Rams (and at least some other teams) for the near future (at least).

Sure, the Rams may get some players back by Tuesday. Maybe a bunch. However, they are likely to see others added to the COVID-List in the next three days. Some of them may be cleared by Tuesday but the Rams will be without some quality players ... as they were on Monday, with Ramsey, Havenstein, Higbee, Deayon and Henderson all out.

Never thought of that. Seems odd we seem to have an "outbreak" and yet they haven't? It's just wierd to me.

7+ day incubation period. Lets see where they are Monday. That said, outdoors has good ventilation.

Agreed. Can we just stick to fucking football? Maybe even a hope that the players come back healthy as quick as possible? Is it that fucking hard?

I only want Pete Carroll out. Not that I want him to get really sick or anything. I just don't want to see his ugly mug on TV lol

Although I will add it would be hilarious to see all 32 kickers ruled out on game day just to make the games that much more exciting hehehehehe

I want him in. And Norton as well. I want us to run up the score against them and make them cry on national television.
