Who’s on the WFT reserve/COVID-19 list (and when)--NOT a 'covid discussion' thread!

[grego]

(mod edit---see title---rule 18 violation---personal anecdotes about 'my world and covid' are digressions inviting more such and are not on topic...if you've missed all the warnings to keep the focus narrow, plus what's in the title, too bad)

Ok. I wonder if the late game matters. It's now at 5 instead of 1 which means more time for a result to come back that day

 

Isn’t our game at 7 on Tuesday?

Yes

According to the new NFL rules, they can test maximum 3 times per day. Day of game you can’t do PCR so it has to be rapid test. Plus you have to activate player day before the game expecting him to test out. If he doesn’t you can’t put him back on Covid list. So time of game doesn’t matter.

[JSSkinz]

People seem to be focused on negative tests but I would be more focused on the viral load test, seems like an easier path to getting players out of the protocol.

The above covers that question I guess

 

I'm confused now lol...I hope others were able to answer your question more fully.

The rapid tests are not that sensitive. You think they can test positive on rapid test and be below viral load threshold on a PCR test?

I didn’t see the “WFT activated…” posts.

This is a step in the right direction. Our Dline can at least compete a bit now.  Yes guys, 4 players have been activated Allen, Toohill, Sweat, & JSWilliams. No new positives! 
Hoping to pick up one of the QB’s ASAP.

Who is Gilbert and where did he come from. Just the fact I had to ask this. Means we are screwed

I don't know enough about the tests to answer your question but it seems reasonable to think you could still test positive when your viral load is decreasing, if that weren't the case then why would the NFL waste time putting that new rule in place.

He was a QB on the Patriots Practice Squad and Washington Signed Him. He had previously played for The Panthers and Cowboys and some other teams. Coach Rivera said the Coaching staff was comfortable with Gilbert!

True. But I am hoping we get some false negative rapid tests and call it a day.

Sounds like the team is hopeful that Kyle Allen will be cleared by Tuesday’s game.

Just listened to Ron's press conference. Basically it's not the negative tests they're looking for, it's that contagious number being below 35 or whatever. And they're setting that number drop in a lot of the players without symptoms.

 

Side note, we've seen players come back from covid and not play as well as before. I'm not sure if this is symptomatic or not but I hope they can get back in playing shape.

I remain optimistic that we will get back at least half of the 21 players before game time on Tuesday night.  Of course if we get 90% back that would be fantastic too.

As long as one is a quarterback 

[NoCalMike]

Getting the players back will be nice, but at the same time I don't expect them to be at 100% given the events of the preceding week.  Maybe they will surprise us and figure it out as a cohesive unit on the field, but I am tempering my expectations on what level of play to expect.

Wasn't our performance impacted by the amount of injuries/Covid-listed players though? It's not like we were really healthy and just laying an egg. Hopefully we can come back stronger on Tuesday.
