Tennessee’s numbers have been up, higher than Minnesota, but about an extra 1000 per day

Yes, but Minnesota had 1470 new cases on Friday, more than Tennessee had

Oh, the graph I saw hadn’t updated that then.

Today is Tuesday that’s when you get the real weekend numbers.

No Bueno......sounds like the game this week may be in serious jeopardy

Seems a bit premature to declare the practice facility shutdown until Saturday before knowing how many more players/staff contracted the virus. If they determine within a couple of days only a handful of employees and staff are positive, then treat it like an injury and have those people quarantine for 2 weeks. In the meantime, scrub the facility clean.

Shutting down until Saturday covers a 4-day incubation window and ample time to run all the tests. That’s a minimum. That’s assuming nothing else is out there. They knew this coach had it and thus didn’t travel and were in the building yesterday.

Good news is the Vikings came up with no positive tests

At least it's a pretty easy fix if it does get postponed (which I find likely, tbh): Titans' bye is week 7, Steelers' is week 8. Steelers play the Ravens week 7. The Ravens' bye is also week 8. Thus:

• Steelers/Titans moves from week 4 to week 7. Both teams have their bye week 4.
• Steelers/Ravens moves from week 7 to week 8. Baltimore has their bye week 7.

Didn't take 4 days for the Vikings to determine they were clean.

Tests aren't back

On the plus side, the MLB already showed that you can regain control over a covid pandemic (albeit while looking like a massive dumpster fire initially) if you commit to shutting teams down until they're clear. Which is what they've done here.

If they limited it to just the Titans and Vikings in time then this should be a relatively simple fix. Both teams get their bye this weekend and then you move their corresponding games into the old bye week

I think its just assumed the Viking players didnt come in contact with any opposing players since they havent shown up for a game this season

If the Titans are found to have not followed protocol or done something wrong. The simple fix is the Titans forfeit

It would take more shuffling of the schedule than that considering the Titans have a week 7 bye and the Steelers have a week 8 bye. Also the Vikings have a week 7 bye and the Texans have a week 8 bye.

Except this isn't baseball. They don't play 162 games and can't knock out two games on some random Wednesday afternoon. Bye weeks are important as well.

 

[GKJ]

Steelers/Titans game will not be played Sunday, but may play Monday or Tuesday

On that note, I'm curious as to when the last time a NFL game was forfeited.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Are the Raiders actually for real with this? If they get any cases the should forfeit their f***ing season let alone next game.

This is bullshit. They had an expanded PS for a reason.
