Dugger possible COVID positive or contact (edit: added to Reserve/Covid list)

[sb1]

Oh crap. This is just what the team doesn't need.

I hope this didn't come from the Titans guy (Byard?). Or maybe Taylor....

Covid cases are higher this season than last season. I think we are about to see the season get compromised possibly worse than last year.

So 2 negative tests and he's good to play Monday night right? I assume he is vaccinated.

If he was COVID positive I think he would already be on the COVID-19 list. Since he is not on the list at this moment, I would guess he is negative with a close contact and the Pats are trying to follow the rules so they are seeking clarification (someone guessed he is unvaccinated).

We'll just have to wait and see. If he goes COVID reserve without a positive test, I think that deductively makes him unvaccinated. But that hasn't happened yet.

Yates is reporting Duggar will "likely" end up on the COVID-19 list. A positive COVID test would "definitely" land Duggar on the COVID-19 list, so reading between the lines, Duggar is negative but a close contact. I am not sure what this means for vaccinated versus unvaccinated.

If unvaxed and close contact he misses 10 days automatically even if he tests negative.

Just 5 days if he tests negative. That would mean he could still play on Monday.

NFL's COVID-19 protocols lay out different rules for the vaccinated and unvaccinated

There is no vaccine mandate for NFL players. Instead, the 2021 protocols put the onus on the unvaccinated.

He tested positive, so he's likely out for Monday, even if vaccinated. Very few players have made it back within 5 days, vaccinated or not.

Duggar’s really been coming on. It’s an unfortunate twist, for sure.

Has to be, otherwise he's out for a mandatory 10 days


Hmmm... wonder of Chung has stayed in game shape... we do always do a Gladieux here...

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

that sucks. Tackling machine who could help against Allen's scrambling and running...

 

[Patsgofor4]

This sucks. I was just talking to a fellow Pats fan about this scenario yesterday, not specifically in reference to Dugger but just in general that things can change in an instant with a positive Covid test and it makes you hold your breath to some degree throughout the week. Would be a huge loss for them, if he can’t test negative on consecutive days (assuming that he is vaccinated). I also worry about other players going on the list this week.

it is what it is but thanks SB1 for inaugurating the chicken little hysteria for this week

Honestly I disagree. Outside a loud minority I think most of us have kind of adjusted to CoVID. Sure, getting CoVID can mess up a team for a week but we now have decent protocols to contain an outbreak so what happened to the Browns last year probably won't happen again.

 

[catent]

Fingers crossed Dugger is vaccinated and we can get a little good fortune with negative tests before Monday.
