Chiefs Kelce to Covid List - Page 21

O.city · 04:29 PM

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.

What about Chris Blewitt? At least we'd have a kicker not named Elliot.

like i said earlier:

lock up the #1 seed and a bye, then have the entire team make out with each other. then everyone will have had it and be fine by round 2 of the playoffs.

That would make me more nervous as a Steeler fan. 3rd and long won’t be about picking up the first down, it’ll just be about setting up an easier 4th down. That’s really tough to defend. I’d rather the Chiefs settle for long field goals.

WRONG

it sounds like the Chiefs want to play for PSU (Punter Set Up) like they did with Alex

Who said a more experienced guy wanted to ruin his holiday for a one week and done?

Brady already has plans to deflate his test results to secure a fake positive right before the playoffs so he can get the 90 day grace period.

No idea how its calculated by the team or the NFL but if its a real one, it would be anyone who comes into close proximity to the players. People who serve the food, clean the areas they are in, give them their new uniforms, provide water etc. etc.

Players and coaching staff is pretty specific. maintenance, food services, concessions etc are private or Jackson County employees.

I'm pretty sure I saw that it required 2 tests still, but they can be right after the other. I've been wrong before though.

**lewdog** · 12-21-2021, 01:29 PM

I’ll be honest, it should be 2 negative tests and no symptoms, regardless of vax status to play. We know vaccinated and positive with symptoms still can spread it. Not sure why you’d need to wait 10 days if not vaxxed and can’t produce 2 negatives with no symptoms to play again. So not sure why we’re differentiating still.

The league really should have scheduled 2 bye weeks for each team so they could find ways to flex games throughout the season.

With the new policy it is only one negative needed for vaxxed playes.

While it has been explained this is not a thread to debate vaccines, that's not a political comment.

Its actually, unsurprisingly, more complicated than that.

Here is the memo sent to teams from the NFL

“Testing Out” of Quarantine for Fully Vaccinated Players, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Staff
After evaluating our testing data, we have updated Addendum D to the Screening and
Testing Protocol and the testing required for a fully vaccinated player, Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 staff
member to “test out” of quarantine following a confirmed positive test. Effective immediately, any
such fully vaccinated individual should be tested every day after the confirmed positive test. Any
such fully vaccinated individual shall be released from quarantine, provided they are asymptomatic
for at least 24 hours by one of the following options:
 Option 1: S/he receives two (2) BRL PCR Test Results (taken on the day after the positive
swab is taken (Day 1) or thereafter) (which may be taken concurrently) which are either
negative or produce Cycle Threshold (CT) values of 35 or greater (all CT target levels (T1
and T2) must be 35 or greater); OR
 Option 2: S/he receives one (1) BRL PCR Test Result (taken on the day after the positive
swab was taken (Day 1) or thereafter) which is either negative or produces CT values of 35
or greater (all CT target levels (T1 and T2) must be 35 or greater) AND a negative Mesa
Test result from a test taken within 24 hours of the BRL PCR Test (i.e., both may be taken at
the same time or less than 24 hours apart); OR
 Option 3: S/he receives two (2) negative Mesa Test results (which may be taken
concurrently but must be two (2) separate swabs) on Day 1 (the day after the positive swab
was taken) or thereafter (maximum limit of 3 tests may be taken per day).
