Does it? I’m pretty sure the official rules are that if you are a close contact, you must isolate until you get a negative test. Again, I don’t think he is vaccinated, but jumping to assumptions is unwise

I think it is 2 tests but might be wrong

This is brilliant actually, that frees up 3 spots on the 53 to stash a couple guys that will eventually take TY's and Ehrlinger's spots when they put them on IR to return!  They can lift them from the COVID list next Monday and all is well....

Not sure that how it works lol.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wentz and Pascal wouldn’t be sitting as a close contact if they had been vaccinated. 
 

But if Lukes info is correct they should all be ready week one.

Friendly reminder from TigerTown  

  
 

 

for everyone who still want to bicker about the field things this is not the play

  

[John Waylon]

Wentz was ready to get back to practice and really get this season kicked off properly

The covid players are still on the 53.

One of the colture guys has a good point. This close contact thing is dumb because these players go every where and you never know who they come in contact with.

Keefer reported it. Let me go find it.

 

Still no source on this?

So Kelly isn’t vaccinated.

 

 

 

How are you coming to that conclusion?

This is good news. Actually the best news we could have had after them going on COVID list. Now lets hope they don't test positive.

And vaccinated 

Wow.  Truly amazing

[John Waylon]

Trying to script a more counterproductive start to the Wentz era like

 

Surely it has to end at some point. 
 

Right?

Assumptions.

 

It’s a running theme in this thread.

So Kelly either lied to Keefer... or Keefer is lying... or... most probably Kelly has been vaccinated but very recently and they still don't count him as fully vaccinated.

i think it was sourced right after this

[King Colt]

Close contact only none of them tested positive*. If they test neg for the next five days they can return to pratice

Because close contacts don't go on COVID list if they are vaccinated, only if they are not. 

[richard pallo]

The league has the policy in place to try and protect it’s players and fans from a deadly virus.  Looks like a sound policy to me.

Except Chloe is right. Close contacts go on COVID list if they are not vaccinated. Vaccinated players don't... unless I'm completely mistaken but I think I'm not. Those freaking rules are a pain to remember... 

 

I was just going through the protocol, and it's very confusing. I'll need some time to get it straight in my head. Up to this point, I haven't been very interested in trying to figure it out, but I'll be digging in at some point soon since the season is about to start.

I saw something regarding the official rules just yesterday when I was reading about Nelson’s placement on the list, but when I looked again just now no dice...if I find it I’ll try to link it here

This seems like a good summary, unless it's been changed since then:

Not the entire rule set, but a valuable chunk of it from PFT:

 

“Vaccinated players do not have to isolate after close contact with someone who tests positive, but unvaccinated players must remain away from the team for a minimum of five days. Vaccinated players who test positive for COVID-19 can return after consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.”

Seems like this is for this thread. It's pre-moderated...

Keefer now reporting his sources are telling him Kelly is NOT vaccinated. So he did lie to him? Or only has gotten one shot?

Sorry, but I can't message you. Why is my account saying "Content needed to be approved by a moderator"?

To avoid this thread turning into a political debate.

Not everything is a lie there can be an honest miscommunication.

Mine says the same.

This thread requires that every comment is approved by a mod before posting. Threads around Covid have proven to derail easily from the actual topic at hand and also end up containing quite a bit of disinformation. It ends up impossible to keep up with moderation on the topic if we don't do this.

[NewColtsFan]

 

I get the same cautionary note.     As Shive has noted, it's to try and help prevent a small fire from turning into an out of control raging fire.     I can't find fault for that idea.      I think it's a fair to all approach.

 

These are incredible times we are living in.....

IMO the most likely case is that he's either in the process of getting vaccinated(only has gotten one vaccine) or has been doubly vaccinated but 2 weeks have not passed since his second vaccine and the league doesn't count him as 'fully vaccinated' yet. 

 

I doubt he straight up lied to Keefer, but who knows... people do and say the weirdest stuff around those vaccines.

Or keefer misunderstood something he said who knows.  Any of what you said or I said could be true.  We just don’t know.

So quite possible Kelly got fully vaxxed but his 14 days hasnt hit. Same thing happened to Pittman in his vlog recently.
