PANIC!!!!!!!!!!

[comochiefsfan]

Ruh Roh

[Dante84]

Need to find out if it was due to contact, or if he actually has it.

[rabblerouser]

Oh my fuck.

[staylor26]

Fuck. With Clark probably out this week that’s not good news.

[Bwana]

Well crap.

[mnchiefsguy]

Well fuck.

Is Clark confirmed to be out this week? Missing both of them would hurt. Might have to win a shootout.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Clark was limited today so I’d guess he plays.

[comochiefsfan]

Need to find out if it was due to contact, or if he actually has it.

Have to think contact right?

Chris was on the injury report i think correct? So this probably due to him getting treatment from Burkholder.

[loochy]

At least it's happening the week before a bye

[dlphg9]

Easily the best player this year to be put on that list.

[loochy]

now THIS covid case is actually newsworthy

[dlphg9]

now THIS covid case is actually newsworthy

Yep, this is the only one so far all year that has mattered.

[siberian khatru]

SEASON OVAH

[Demonpenz]

He will opt out until they get a new deal

[TomBarndtsTwin]

We’ll be fine.

It’s the Panthers.

If we can’t beat them at home without Jones and Clark, then we’re not really Super Bowl material this year.

This isn’t the Jets, but we should still roll. The offense can with this game for us by themselves.

Dumb

[Sassy Squatch]

With McCaffrey coming back this game is going to be tough.

[RINGLEADER]

I was about to post how the bye week seems to be biting a lot of teams in the azz.

Looking like CJ saw the schedule and kicked it early.

[kcxiv]

They say he doesnt have it, might play on Sunday if negative on Sunday im guessing?

[Marcellus]

He is probably a close contact to Burkholder. Depending on how many days ago he may be able to test on Sunday and play.

[In58men]

A few things regarding Chris Jones on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
1) Jones' practiced.
2) Only on the list if exposed to someone w/ positive test - DOES NOT mean player is + (again, Contact Tracing)
3) IF virus test negative & asymptomatic, must wait 5 days w/ negative tests.

He won’t play Sunday.

Breaking: Chris Jones sacked COVID-19 for a huge loss

Jones is pretty much worthless vs the run.

This. Their defense doesn't blitz much, they don't get much pressure overall, and just about everyone can pass on them.

Then their OL is banged up, I'm pretty sure I read that their right guard is a back-up and maybe also their C, and they don't run block that well and they're in the bottom third in pass pro. Our DL even without CJ (possibly Clark as well) should be able to get some pressure. And Spags will dial some stuff up and bring DBs/S/LBs to generate that. When that happens, Bridgewater has shown a tendency to throw INTs, and the team has a tendency to turn the ball over.

All the metrics I've looked at suggest that the Chiefs won't have much of a problem putting CAR away.

Burkholder was probably massaging his muscle.

Okay, what's the protocol on this now? Is it three days of negative tests or something?

[Red Dawg]

SB Champ during Civid should come with and asterisk. So many player are not playing.

Has to have 5 straight days of negative tests since last contact.

Five day silo from when the contact occurred.

Nah, I just made a typo error in the first edition, so I fixed it with added emphasis, that's all.

We are doomed without him Sunday.

it's not like baseball or basketball where they shortened the seasons so teams from LA could win something for once

So do we know when 'last contact' even was?

Screw it, just someone tell us if CJ has any chance to play on Sunday, or if we just should fold up our tents and go home.:sulk:

He has zero chance of playing on Sunday. He would likely be fine the next week if we didn't have the bye, but we do, so he'll be back after that.

Time for wharton to get 5 sacks and make history then

Wrong. Depends on when the contact occurred.

Luckily we have our bye week after this game

Thx.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Is this a serious question? Do people really believe that you can somehow prevent yourself from getting this thing? You can mitigate as much as possible, but you can still get it...
...I'm not blaming anyone for catching the 'rona. It's stupid to do that.

[BWillie]

Everyone intentional get the Covids immediately after the game for competitive advantage and temporary immunity as we go into the 2nd part of the season and playoffs.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

The sausage

Clears COVID-19 protocols The Chiefs activated Sherman from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. Impact Sherman has missed the last three games while on the COVID-19 list, but he's passed the necessary protocols and is in line to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Do better!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

We lost at home to the Raiders

Yes, but Faid are a better team than Carolina. Division rival, beat down by us numerous times before, their personal ‘Super Bowl’, unexpected deep passing game plan with Carr . . . . . . . . pick your reason.

The Chiefs-Faid game was an anomaly. We will see that demonstrated first hand in 2 weeks.

Carolina is not an awful team like the Jets, but they are easy to figure out and you know what they’re gonna do, especially with CMac coming back. The Chiefs are not overlooking them and will come ready to play.

Prepare for the offense to rape again . . . . . . .

[jjchieffan]

I see some saying he can't play because he needs 5 straight days of negative tests. Is that correct? Seems like the Raiders offensive linemen called played except Brown in about the same time frame as this case. Didn't Brown turn up his positive on a Wednesday or Thursday?

[In58men]

Per a source all looks good today with Chiefs covid tests from yesterday but we still have tomorrow and Sunday morning tests to get thru before the game.

So tired of this shit.

[Dunerdr]

Fuck it. Rest Clark, no Jones. Lets play this shit like its '18 minus Bob Sutton. Send Mahomes into this game in kill mode.

[mililo4cpa]

Not certain what the protocol is, but don't they have to go back in time to figure out when the contact occurred? So, if the news broke yesterday that CJ was on the CV list, but it wasn't from a positive test, wouldn't that imply that his contact had to come before Yesterday, so likely Wednesday at latest? And if this is the case, and he's already tested negative since that point, wouldn't he already be in the 5 day window, assuming he stays negative?

Also, if it was not a member of the team, wouldn't it also have to be CJ that self-reported this? I mean, how else would they know that CJ was in close contact with a non-team affiliated person that tested positive otherwise?

EDIT: At the end of the day, don't think that Sunday's game hinges on CJ playing or not.....just wondering what the possibility is that he could go

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He’s back to practice today per Fescoe: https://twitter.com/bobfescoe/status/1324739370499428352?s=21

You’d like to be able to rest Clark if he’s not fully healthy but at the same time he’s the only guy who can be trusted to set an edge, and McCaffrey is coming to town.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Well now its looking like Panthers LT Russell Okung might be out.

Sit Clark.

It’s 5 days from the time of contact.

So they’re suggesting that Jones had his contact on like Sunday or Monday.

I was confused by this whole thing when I heard the news today, but seems reasonable that he had contact with someone (I heard not a Chiefs employee) on Sunday, that person eventually got sick and had a positive test on Thursday, leaving Jones to clear 5 days and be reactivated Friday.

I get that this is in the interest of transparency, but if he was going to be cleared the next day why even release the info?
