December 20, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, UK_EaglesFan89 said: So their DL gets healthier and comes off the covid list. We have a key OL go on to the list. It's a joke. Yep. And these cases are usually not in isolation. I'd say decent chance that at least one more member of the OL is unavailable because of COVID. Imagine playing Tuesday without Dickerson, Mailata and/or Kelce. This after we pushed the game back so that the Redskins could get healthy.

And I am merely presenting facts (Dickerson out … for now … Watkins in). The latter is definitely a positive, albeit a small one, but still a positive.
December 20, 20214 yr what are the rules for covid testing? could he still play if he has a clean test today or tomorrow?

December 20, 20214 yr If Brooks is available then if they move Herbig to Left guard that isn't that bad providing Brooks isn't hella rusty, but Herbig and Opeta against the Washington line with no depth to spell them sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

December 20, 20214 yr i know dillard had worked at guard in trained camp if i remember right could be he plays there

Pretty sure Brooks is done for the year isn't he? Edit: Guess not - thought I had read that he was done. Though if I was them I wouldn't send him back out this late in the year just to get hurt again

There is also Toth and also Clark who I believe has some experience playing RG previously. Not ideal but also not completely devoid of depth at the position.
December 20, 20214 yr Author Not to be outdone by Philly’s move to place Dickerson on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Washington announces they have placed their all pro RG Brandon Scherff on the list. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/washington-putting-brandon-scherff-covid-19-list
December 20, 20214 yr Author And now another of our OL placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. This time it is Dillard. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-add-andre-dillard-covid-19-list-day-washington-game Sure hope this doesn’t run wild through our locker room like it did in Washington’s.
December 20, 20214 yr 22 hours ago, time2rock said: What reason would he have for screwing over the Eagles? Common sense in a TATE thread is unusual so thanks. Bottom line is this has nothing to do with Goodell. The Covid testing policies were collectively bargained before vaccines were widespread and the league and the NFLPA have made adjustments because of what happened with the three postponed games. That doesn't help any of the six teams impacted this week but it does allow asymptomatic players to play going forward.

Fortunately so far just one starter and one reserve who likely wouldn’t have dressed anyway (with the lack of depth on the interior OL I’d think players like Toth and Clark who have versatility to playing inside or out would dress before Dillard). Fingers crossed it doesn’t impact any others.

They look like they'll be playing Garrett Gilbert behind a makeshift line and McLaurin still hasn't cleared concussion protocol. If Gannon can't stop that he really should be fired.
