Yep. They haven't released if he has it or close contact. Either way if the NFLPA agrees to the new CDC recommendations he can still play Sunday

Heard a really interesting if somewhat conspiratorial take on this on the radio yesterday. I guess the rule is that once you have tested positive and cleared, you do not require a new test within 90 days. Thus some are speculating there may be some purposeful "positives" taking place right now to ensure that 2 games before a playoff game, a champ game, or the night before the SB, your guy won't come down with the surprise covid case.

It is interesting that there are some really big names out there that have not been positive yet and if this theory is correct, could end up being playoff casualties.

What a strange strange season.

And there it is. Once those guys were on the plane together, that was it.

But that also includes everyone else that was on the plane. Whether vaxed or not. Close contact is close contact

As long as he isn’t symptomatic.

Also, this is the least surprising thing I’ll hear all day.

Also, since he tested positive today, he’s definitely out for the raiders game, even if they change it to 5 days of isolation.

Sam Ehlinger, come on down.

The goalpost always move to where the money is. The NFL is not going to risk a terrible playoffs/SB and lose ratings.

The CDC goal post has also moved. Same requirements whether vaxed or unvaxed. Too many people out of work right now And its proven that you can get this whether vaxed or not. You are hopefully protecting yourself with milder symptoms if you are vaxed. BUT not always the case

They test on Mondays. They are not even in the building to be tested today. So those results were from yesterday they just didn't release until today. This late reporting happens quite often.
