The "play 'em or rest 'em" debate might take care of itself. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-dealing-biggest-covid-outbreak-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIRV Griffen Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Don’t sweat it. We’re moving Jake Elliott to DT and Siposs to MLB. We got this 💪 😛 In all seriousness, this reeks of a move to rest the starters, and get a testing exemption throughout the playoffs. Not really concerned. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is undersized but has a "high motor", like countless other DTs we've seen over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uscg-green Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Bet they all volunteered to get tested so that they could be back for playoffs and wouldn't be subject to testing for another 90 days. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't test everyone in our dept at once because it would cripple us. They don't say it like that but our medical director said we would probably go over 60 percent positive. Just allot of asymptomatic. It's literally everywhere. Good news is while it's getting more contagious its getting less deadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And look I'm one of those who thinks we need to get on with life as much as we can. This new variant is not as severe and is now more like a cold... So we do need to get on with life. But it seems crazy to me that players who test positive on a Monday can play at the weekend as long as they don't show symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting way more contagious but less deadly. Will it still kill people? Yeah. But it's been from what I've seen the past two weeks the very elderly with a co morbility list two pages long. The common cold would kill allot of these patients. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I think people forget that. They forget that the cold does kill people who are immuno suppressed. They forget that the flu kills people. It's become all about covid and we need to move beyond that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
