Kelce to Covid List

[O.city]

Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce is being placed on the Reserve/COVID list, sources tell ESPN. But he is vaccinated so there’s a chance he’s back for Sunday with the new return-to-play protocols.

Not testing positive isn't equal to asymptomatic.

Shag just said he tested negative for 3 days while displaying symptoms.

Which means he was capable of spreading the virus even though he was testing negative.

Twisted didn't say anything about displaying symptoms. He said people can test negative and still spread it (because they have symptoms).

Yes, if the player is unvaxxed they have to stay away for 10 days. Even if they test negative on day 1 after initial positive.

Heard on radio yesterday that most players want to drop all Covid related testing and restrictions but the PA doesn't agree.

Who would have thought.

Get your political shit out of here. Mods should start banning anyone, without warning, that does this shit in non-political threads.

They need to, because the policy doesn't make sense.

Yet Kelce is jabbed and has it, too. Now what?

Elliott Fry's longest made FG in the now-defunct Alliance of American Football league was 47 yards. In college, his longest FG was 44 yards. For his college career, he made 75.6% of his attempts and 99.4% of his PAT attempts. Of course, the college PAT distance is considerably shorter.

So, depending on weather conditions, anything between the 50 and the Steelers' 35 is definitely 4-down territory. Not sure I would attempt a FG anywhere outside of the Steelers' 25, actually. Forecast for Sunday is sunny and 66 degrees, but could be a bit windy.

Kelce can come back with two negative tests in a row, and it’s only Tuesday. Butker can’t.

Kelce is doing everything he can to be available for every game. Butker wasn’t.

No, Kelce is vaxxed and it only takes 1 negative test for him to come back. As long as he has a negative by the time they test Sunday he is good.

Not sure I'm buying that either. The system is broken if fully symptomatic people are getting false negatives at anything higher than a 10% clip. That's a disaster. The whole point with using the PCR test was to reduce false negatives. False positives can be dealt with but routine false negatives (for three days) should mean that the tests are useless.

Welp, either Townsend will have to kick the XTP or we're going for two every time...

It's not Butker's fault the NFL has ridiculous Covid policies (that they're actively attempting to change) in place for its players and coaches, though.

Wasn't the point of my response to BWillie, but I think you know that.

I don't necessarily disagree with that. Even said as much earlier.

Fear not, George. We've got a kicker named Elliot who can be named!
