Every week a new team has Covid issues, hmmm......what a coincidence, aye......
Giants place Will Hernandez on COVID-19 list; team sends multiple OL, two coaches home
The New York Giants are dealing with a positive COVID-19 test.
The team announced Thursday morning that a player tested positive for COVID-19 and that the player and his close contacts are not in the building while the rest of the team preps for Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"Late last night, we were notified that a Giants player tested positive for COVID-19," the Giants said in a statement. "The player was immediately self-isolated, and the contact tracing process was initiated. All of the player's close contacts were identified and were informed to remain home today. Those individuals will participate in meetings remotely. We are working closely with the NFL's Chief Medical Officer regarding next protocol steps.
"Quest Diagnostics Training Center will remain open, and the rest of the team will follow their normal practice and meeting schedule."
It is the first positive test for the Giants since testing began.
Big Blue quarantined all but four of their offensive linemen after one tested positive for COVID-19, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. However, none of the players, aside from the one who tested positive, are considered "high risk" close contacts, which means they could be back in the facility on Friday, Pelissero added.
Two Giants coaches -- outside linebackers coach Bret Bielema and defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson -- were also sent home because they were considered close contacts, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
Guard Will Hernandez will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Pelissero added.
Following the Giants' Week 7 Thursday night loss to Philadelphia, a group of New York players -- including quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley -- gathered for a group dinner Friday, and were caught on video dining without masks. Coach Joe Judge commented on the situation this week saying the team would handle the issue in-house.
It's unclear at this point if the positive test stemmed from the dinner.
Much like with the Las Vegas Raiders last week, close contacts would need to quarantine for five days if they are considered "high risk" exposures.
The Giants playing Monday night helps give players an extra day, but the timing of when the positive tests and the close contact occurred will determine the next course of action.
As every week has shown, playing a season during a global pandemic comes with uncertainties that will need to be dealt with on a rolling basis.

Chargers player tests positive for COVID-19; team conducting meetings virtually
The Los Angeles Chargers were already dealing with wildfires. Now Anthony Lynn's team has a COVID-19 issue to maneuver around.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported a Chargers player tested positive for COVID-19, and he and all close contacts were told to stay home and isolate, per sources informed of the situation.
The team confirmed the positive test.
"Late last night, we received notice a Chargers player tested positive for COVID-19," the Chargers said in a statement. "The player was immediately notified, began self-quarantine and the contact tracing process was initiated. The player's close contacts have been identified. They will remain home today and participate in meetings remotely.
"Hoag Performance Center remains open, and the team will follow its normal practice and meeting schedule. All meetings will be held virtually. We continue to operate in close consultation with the NFL, as well as our team of independent doctors and specialists, and will follow their guidance."
"As has been the case since day one of this pandemic, the health and safety of our players, staff and community continue to be our highest priority."
The positive test comes as several L.A. staffers and players, including rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, were among the thousands of people evacuated from their homes amid the Southern California wildfires this week.
It's unclear at this stage whether one of the evacuees was the player who tested positive.
The Chargers are set to face the Broncos in Denver on Sunday afternoon.
The positive test in L.A. comes on the same day the Giants are also dealing with a COVID-19 issue across the country in New York.
From sea to shining sea, the pandemic rages on.
Playing during the pandemic was always going to come with issues that need to be dealt with on a week-to-week basis. As positives spike across the country, the NFL will continue to maneuver around the cases among players and staff members as deftly as possible.

""From an offensive lineman at Indiana University dealing with possible heart issues to a University of Houston player opting out of the season because of “complications with my heart,” the news has been coming fast and furiously. More than a dozen athletes at Power Five conference schools have been identified as having myocardial injury following coronavirus infection, according to ESPN; two of the conferences—the Big Ten and the Pac-12—already have announced they are postponing all competitive sports until 2021. And in Major League Baseball, Boston Red Sox ace pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez told reporters that he felt “100 years old” as a result of his bout with COVID, and of MLB’s shortened season because of myocarditis—an inflammation of the heart muscle, often triggered by a virus. Said Rodriguez: “That’s [the heart is] the most important part of your body, so when you hear that … I was kind of scared a little. Now that I know what it is, it’s still scary.”
"...Just a few weeks ago, a former Florida State basketball player, Michael Ojo, died of suspected heart complications just after recovering from a bout of COVID-19 in Serbia, where he was playing pro ball."

I'm not. I'm responding with facts & truth to post #4 in this thread & other similar remarks in this topic.
I can't help it if you aren't smart enough to deal with the truths i am posting & have no intelligent reply to them.
Often people on the wrong (& losing side) of a debate, as you are, resort to ad hominen attacks such as you do here & have often done before.

You are literally spamming because I've seen you post the same copy pasta post no less than 250 times.
And you already lost the debate. You literally are humiliated in every thread by 90% of the forum.
Any comment on how the CDC and WHO both say lock downs don't work, yet?
Italy and Spain have been on strict lock down for months and their cases are skyrocketing.
Weird.
