Roughly ten NFL teams have had at least one player test positive for COVID-19, a source tells ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler. So far, we know that the Cowboys, Texans, Rams, Broncos, 49ers, and Buccaneers have had players diagnosed with the coronavirus. There are more clubs with positive cases on the roster and fear is mounting for all 32 teams.

In recent days, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and Broncos safety Kareem Jackson have tested positive for COVID-19. Earlier this year, Broncos defender Von Miller and Saints head coach Sean Payton also contracted it. Those are just the big names – a number of players and coaches have come down with COVID-19, and many of them tested positive during this second wave.
The NFL still expects to go forward with the 2020 season, though they are far less optimistic about having fans at games than they were just a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, the league is reexamining its COVID-19 procedures and safeguards. For example, the league may move practice squads from 12 to 16 players to keep rosters afloat. However, the league office is opposed to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s suggested “bubble” strategy, which would call for maximum isolation and all games hosted at a single site.
Does it really matter? It’s going to happen when guys come in from all over. The protocols will mitigate a lot of this once it gets settled in
Don’t stand for the anthem, that’s fine, I hope the season gets cancelled this year.
The anthem sucks anyway!
So does getting on your knees for another man.
Lmao
The fact you THINK that’s an insult, says a lot about you!
Thank you.
Your welcome! lol
It’s the flu, it isn’t a death sentence the media made it out to be
Can it be in the middle? Stop the politics. I’ll remind everybody that the health orders were about the medical infrastructure being able to handle the cases as it seems to spread rapidly and for retain populations it can be deadly. Nobody ever said it was the plague. As a nation we are supposed to care about our countrymen, not to mention the doctors and nurses that care for us. And some basic health precautions don’t seem like tok much to ask.
Tell that to the families of loved ones that died.
Tell me. I had a family member die. Car accident. No covid. But COD is listed as Covid.its a scam.
Sure does sound like a scam
Or the millions who have survived….
Covid Bowl
So everyone knows a normal cold is a coronavirus. Fauci has even said a lot of these tests are giving false positives as why so many have almost no symptoms. No conspiracy just giving facts. This is all BS
Eat THC gummies. They help everything.
If the NFL does play some games in stadiums without fans please don’t pipe fake fan noise as background sound in telecasts. The fake noise piped into the English Premier league games this weekend was positively dreadful.
Horrible
Uh oh. You mean they have a cold? Or nothing? What to do! Shut down for atleast two years!
