[QUOTE=Chief X_Phackter;1304430]NFL's new COVID-19 rules include changes to return-to-play protocols, return of intensive restrictions



[url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32883210/nfl-new-covid-19-rules-include-changes-return-play-protocols-return-intensive-restrictions[/url][/QUOTE]Thanks a lot !

That makes it clear !

"Under the previous protocols, a vaccinated individual who tests positive for COVID-19 has to produce two negative tests 24 hours apart before being cleared to return. The new protocols relax that requirement and could enable teams such as the*Cleveland Browns,*Los Angeles Rams*and*Washington Football Team*to get some players back for this weekend's games.

In creating the new return-to-play protocols, the [B]NFL and NFLPA focused on a new metric that measures the viral load of a player[/B], known as the "cycle threshold" (CT). In essence, the CT value can [B]measure whether a player is still contagious[/B], even if in some cases he would still test positive on a traditional test.

That testing can begin as soon as [B]one day after the initial positive and could significantly shorten the amount of time a vaccinated player spends away from the team facility.[/B]

There are now three ways for a vaccinated player to return under the new protocols:

• Two PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests that are either negative or produce a CT value of 35 or greater.

• One PCR test that is either negative or produces a CT value of 35 or greater, and a negative Mesa test result taken with 24 hours of the PCR test. (Mesa tests usually return results in less than an hour.)

• Two negative Mesa tests.

According to NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, previous NFL test analysis has shown that [B]players with CT values at the level of 35 or higher do not transmit COVID-19 and thus would not be contagious[/B]."

It’s crazy to think about how we are all trying to understand epidemiology these days. On a football fan site! It has come to this.

Philly wanted a forfeit. I hope we bust them in the mouth. What crap. You’d have though they’d have wanted to beat up our scrubs. That they wanted a forfeit says all you need to know about their confidence in their own abilities.

Eagles gonna be so so mad if they lose.

Bunch of pussies wanting a free win. If the shoe was on other foot, they'd want the exact same thing done.

The only point i agree with is that Sweat could be responsible for this by not getting vaccinated. Could be I said.

But, as a team we did everything we were supposed to do so to blame this on dysfunction is ridiculous. What a bunch of cry babies.

JP says he believes Kyle Allen will start Tuesday. Doesn’t think TH will be cleared from Covid list.. we’ll see

Re: Eagles pre game
 

Cosmi was designated to return to practice a couple days ago too.

Anyone know if all these players that went to the Reserve/COVID list tested positive, or were some of them considered "close contacts"?

For someone that claims to be heterosexual you show a lot of animosity towards the female anatomy. Why would you denigrate them and compare them to eagles?

Based on shifting nfl policy I would concur. I had no clue they were stricter than cdc guidelines
