to be fair Dr Allen Sills yesterday (or the day before - i cant remember exactly) said they think they have a handle on where the spread was coming from and that they were themselves not expecting to have a day of negatives today - said they were expecting things to be resolving on friday which suggests they're fairly confident that they're highly confident the incubation period will be mostly over at that point
my guess is their aim is to allow us to walkthrough maybe saturday if we dont get anymore positives on saturday
what's potentially going to be tougher is that we're down around 8 players already and we dont know how many positives we've got today either yet which means we're potentially looking at another chunk of the team down too lol - we're approaching the limit of practice squad replacements available lol
I think that's the hope. Obviously we've followed protocols since the positives started coming down, so you'd think the "spread" is stopped and all of these positives are related to the incubation period. Buuuutttt this year is super unpredictable so I wouldn't necessarily count on that.
With that in mind, I wonder what the NFL would do if an entire position was decimated with it being impossible to field enough players there. Like, if the RB group continued to get hit and then we were stuck with 1 guy to carry the load. Do they really care about player safety in that case?
As far as the roster goes, technically we only have to get to 48 with the game day inactives, so right now, we probably won't need to promote as many as it seems on the surface. Would think Dez, Willson, and Holden are all in line to get elevated again, but do we really need anyone else? Ty'Son Williams seems likely but we haven't been decimated enough at any specific position to "need" to fill to 53... pending today's results of course
QB - McSorley / QB3, no need to replace
RB - Dobbins and Ingram / T. Williams likely to replace
OL - Mekari and Skura / Phillips return from IR and enough depth here
DL - Williams and Campbell / unlikely to play anyways, likely to roll with 4 or might elevate Crawford
OLB - McPhee / Ward inactive to active list on game day
