I think it would be comical and rather enjoyable to watch the practice squads go at it .

not over anytime soon
we dont know for sure whether the 6 new additions to the list are close contacts or positive cases but at this point it's unlikely to be close contacts given they've all been isolating
it also puts the total number of players on the Covid-reserve list at 20
here's the list:

no idea if any of this is true but if it is that's a worrying level of brazen disregard for the protocols while there's literally an outbreak on the team
im hoping it's not true (no idea which players she's referring to) but if it is true that's a pretty awful look

Yeah it's important to verify whether or not it even happened and also when. I've posted years old photos on social media before. It could be something like that.
The players could also be someone like Ronnie Stanley whose season ended before the outbreak.
But you know, everyone did say that covid would explode after Thanksgiving gatherings so these two teams might be the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
she did specify that at least one of the players was one of the ones who went on the list today (so im assuming one of those 6 guys)
btw it sounds like Ferguson, Fluker and washington were close contacts and not positives

All of the Broncos QB’s are out due to Covid . They still plan on playing .wow .
Maybe it’s time to temporarily suspend play for two weeks .

Are we going to have enough position players to play ?
i mean barely right now - taking into account every possible available player i think we're currently looking at a roster of 52 available players but we know there's at least 1 more rapid positive that will likely get confirmed tomorrow (unlikely to be a false positive) and it seems right now that with everyday we're losing more players to the covid-list
then again it looks like the broncos are being asked to play with all 4 QBs unavailable so who knows what would happen
- at the moment we have only 3 DL available for the Steelers game (Derek Wolfe - who's got some sort of illness... which is fairly ominous, justin ellis and PS Aaron Crawford)
offensive line is looking even more problematic right now: we've only got 6 and only 1 tackle...
i think our starting OL would look like this... maybe
Orlando Brown, Bradley Bozeman, Trystan Colon-Castillo, Ben Powers, Ben Bredeson - the only other OL available is R Prince who might have technically played tackle for us in a preseason game before so maybe you'd swap him in for Bredeson (or whoever the spare guy is decided to be out of TCC and Bredeson)
potentially we can bring Tyre Phillips back but he hasnt practiced in 3 weeks and might not be fully recovered
Luke Wilson btw at TE is listed with an illness just like Derek Wolfe so no idea whether that's non-covid or whether it's a placeholder while they wait to confirm
Looks like we're just going to have to make it work with what we've got - the Broncos are playing tomorrow with 0 QBs.
DL is going to be a disaster. Not that it's super easy, but expect a lot of nickel/4-3 looks since we at least have the depth to get by at DE/Edge and ILB.
OL might be okay. I'd imagine Phillips gets activated regardless, even if it's an emergency situation only. Jake Rodgers should have time to get through protocols at this point at least, and might also be an emergency option as well with literally only a day or two with the playbook. Prince is listed as a G but played T for us last preseason so maybe he gets the start or is the backup? Regardless, that sucks too.
TE will be interesting. That Willson designation is ominous, especially since he's a PS guy who technically doesn't even have to be on the injury report. I'm not sure if they have any foundation, but there are rumors Andrews might head to the list tomorrow, so we could play with Eric Tomlinson and Sean Culkin lol
I might regret saying this, but it's crazy that WRs, ILBs and DBs have largely been untouched.

Wasn't Tavon Young among those players? His season has been over for a long time. I think there was another guy who was already on IR too that just moved to covid reserve.
oh i get that - i think if we somehow ended up with not enough OL to field even a 5 then the NFL might have a problem - because that becomes potentially a safety issue if we physically dont have enough bodies to play that position - it'd be un-safe/dangerous to have non-OL playing OL in the trenches on a down-by-down basis but right now we've got enough so this is purely hypothetical
outside of that happening to the OL or the ravens physically not having enough people to reasonably field a team safely then i dont see how we wont be playing as long as the positive tests abate (which there arent any signs of that happening right now)
2 starters - the rumour (as you say and ive seen around twitter) is that 1 is Mark Andrews (which given his type 1 diabetes is potentially a big issue) - wonder who the other starter could be

Thank you ! The NFL has so much flexibility. Who cares if the Super Bowl is played in April if need be
