Nelson to Covid list

This is such a good point. This 17 is going to ruin it for a bunch of teams.

Yeah I gotta be honest, as much as I get tired of debating over Covid stuff, they should have waited until Covid is no longer an issue before starting the 17 game schedule.

Missed practice Wednesday due to not feeling well. Came back Thursday. Yeah he definitely had it Wednesday.

I don’t think that necessarily means he had Covid on Wednesday. Isn’t it entirely likely that he was sick, recovered enough to practice, but because his immune system was weakened by a normal sickness, he was more susceptible to Covid and contracted it because of that?

First of all 95% of the league is vaccinated. Almost every player who is on the covid list is vaccinated. The colts botched it letting Nelson come back to practice.

You don’t think he was tested before he was allowed to practice?  I do.  That’s all he needs.

They should of sat him for one more test. 

[jvan1973]

Do we know if it's just close contact or did he test positive?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The NFL is going to have to figure out a better way to deal with this next season.  On to next season I guess.

We don’t know. The fact he had a illness it sure seems like a positive. Could be close contact to Glow I guess.

I haven’t seen anyone say. Assuming the Covid protocols haven’t changed for unvaccinated players who have contracted Covid, and assuming that Nelson is still unvaccinated, wouldn’t that mean he would miss at least ten days and the Raiders game too?

If he tested positive he would miss the Raiders game.   Close contact is 5 days with no positive tests

It’s the NFL, by the time they figure out what the hell they’re doing Covid will be long gone

What if Ehl takes over and has the same impact Brady did when Bledsoe got hurt?

Really, 5 days? I understand that those players are not vaccinated, but do they seriously need to wait 5 days just to be sure he didn’t get it? Seems like overkill to me, I would think 2 to 3 days would be enough...

Typically, you don't get Covid & then test positive immediately

Which is why I said it “doesn’t necessarily mean he had Covid”. I understand that it’s likely he had it, but it’s still possible he didn’t.

So it would be Hundley or Ellinger.  Excited?

The guy hasn't even tested positive and you have him out for the season. You don't even know for sure that he is unvaccinated. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If that pro bowl announcement with Reich is any indication this is going to spread. What were the colts thinking.

[Indyfan4life]

Oh boy. 
 

Let’s just see how this all plays out over the following week before everyone is ready to call it a season.

Go talk to the NFL then. All their rules make no sense. It’s 5 days from contact. So in reality it could be one or two days.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Something to keep in mind is the rest of the oline is probably being tested everyday if they are considered close contacts. This could get out of control before the game tomorrow.

Didn’t realize Glow was out.  Haven’t been able to follow much.  Is Kelly going to be back?

Kelly remains out.   
 

So our entire middle of the OL will be the back ups.   
 

Reed, Pinter, and I’m guessing Pryor.

New virus, new vaccine.  Everyone is learning as they go.  I'm surprised the NFL has gotten in as much football as it has the past two years.

 

Everything will be different in 2022.  Good chance Omicron ends the pandemic.  Just gotta get through the next few months.  Of course doing so would be easier if our best players and team leaders were vaccinated.

[richard pallo]

The Titans beat the 49’ers without three starting offensive lineman.  Can the Colts do it?  Of course Jimmy G helped them out quite a bit.

Might be easier but I totally understand why they choose not to.

Not with his diminutive arm, everyone will squat on the short routes, will be worse than Chad Pennington plus not being tall, he can't throw down the seams, have to get him to drop back 3-4 yards consistently to see everything clearly. Might work for a game but not much more. He doesn't have much upside, IMO.

 

I'd invest in a better backup if I were Ballard given Wentz's injury history as well.

It is just one person with the doom and gloom. Football is the ultimate team sport and I believe in our coaches, 100% with their ability to maximize our strengths and minimize our weaknesses.

[Patrick Miller]

Pinter and Reed both have been playing really well when given the opportunity. The one we will really miss is Nelson.

Omicron virus doesn’t seem to care if you are vaxxed or unvaxxed. It appears to hit vaxxed just as much, just not as hard.

No I didn’t. I was home, rooting for the 49ers….

Sometimes there is just too much to overcome.

You guys think we could beat the Jags if Sam had to play?

I actually thought of replying to Richard Pallo that "Jimmy G is here". 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The biggest thing this hurts is the oline needs chemistry to hit combo blocks ect for Taylor. These guys have not played together. 
 

Maybe Kelly will be back next week.

Depends on where the rest of the team is. If oline is all together and Taylor is playing yes I think we can.

They literally gather in a group like that every day for practice, chill out. * happens.

[Happy2BeHere]

This definitely sucks, but Taylor is special, and I think he will still get 100 yards and 1 TD

Move Doyle to H Back, like Dallas Clark often played- Plus in addition, MAC and Granson at 2 TE Sets. Get creative blocking/helping.

Not sure you realize Chad Oennington is a former MVP of the entire National Football League?!?    And Sam Ehlinger is a full 6’ 1”.   It’s not like he’s sub-6’

 

Feel free to keep your powder dry.   No need to meltdown quite yet…..     

 

 

[JediXMan]

How’s the Cards D against screens and short passes probably need incorporate that a lot. Definitely see the Cards blitzing a lot against this OL that has little experience together.
