More Colts added to COVID Reserve List - Wentz, Kelly, and Pascal
 
Not what I wanted to see today - this will not help Wentz and Kelly get ready for Week 1.

These moves may impact the final 53 man roster decisions - or rather, delay some decisions because the Colts will get an extra roster spot to replace each COVID reserve player.

We have placed C Ryan Kelly, WR Zach Pascal and QB Carson Wentz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

The three players the Colts placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list today -- QB Carson Wentz, WR Zach Pascal and C Ryan Kelly -- are all close contacts with a staff member who tested positive, per source. Back in five days as long as they remain negative and asymptomatic.

On Carson Wentz, this was supposed to be a big week for him in terms of his recovery. The Colts wanted to see him string together back-to-back days of full practice and gauge how the foot responded.

That can't happen now. Not this week.

Maybe I’m just paranoid but the lack is vaccinated players is going to make a run at the title all but impossible. Wentz, if he isn’t vaccinated-and seeing him always in a mask makes me believe he isn’t- is going to be extremely difficult to overcome. Every time he comes in contact with COVID it’s 5 more days without practice-something he desperately needs. I am beginning to believe this team is going to go nowhere fast. Nelson isn’t vaccinated (if he had been he wouldn’t have been quarantined for 5 days) Leonard appears not to be either. Hard enough to deal with injuries much less this shit

Asked Frank Reich on Friday night if Nelson's situation drove home the fact that being unvaccinated could cause guys to miss a game as a close contact.

His response: "I don't like to play that card, but it is what it is. So yes, it does show that."

More Reich: "We'll continue to educate the players. I still respect, greatly respect, the choice that each individual player has. We'll continue to educate and give whatever counsel we can. We recommend that every player should be vaccinated, but we respect individual choice."

Not paranoid - realistic. It’s going to be a lost season.

Awesome, the least vaccinated team in the league strikes again!

Nelson would have still been quarantined. Just like Reich was and just like Kelly is now

I am correcting myself. I thought Nelson tested positive. He was only in close contact. So he wouldn’t have missed time.

I’m starting to get the feeling that this whole Wentz experiment is going to be a disaster. It’s sure as hell not starting out very well.

Keefer retracted his earlier comment - he now indicates that Kelly is not fully vaccinated.

So that means that Nelson, Kelly, Wentz and Pascal will all miss a mandatory 5 days due to being a close contact with someone and not being vaccinated.
Nelson was lucky - his timing included the last preseason game and the weekend so he didn't miss any significant practice time. Kelly, Wentz and Pascal weren't so lucky and will miss a significant amount of practice leading up to Week 1 - especially for Kelly and Wentz coming off their injuries.
