DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 24 Steelers 22 Injuries

I think we will.

The 8th is a friday is it not? The 9th would be Saturday and 10th sunday. They have to stay away from team for 10 days. It was announced this morning (Thursday)
So even if we played sunday that would be the 10th day. Wouldnt be eligible to return until Monday. So there for if we play the Steelers again, which in most playoff scenarios is what will happen if we win this Sunday, the browns would have to try to cover the Steelers receivers without our best player in the secondary.

First, good catch on my wrong dates. Wildcard games are the 9th and 10th. Today, Dec. 31st would be the first day so the 10th day will be the 9th, allowing them to play Sunday. The thing is with our luck the NFL will schedule us for the 9th.

I could not agree with you more. It will most likely be Saturday.

Browns OG Nick Harris ruled out for Sunday. LB Tae Davis (ankle), LB Sioni Takitaki (ankle), OG Wyatt Teller (ankle), and OT Kendall Lamm (illness) are questionable.

Kevin Stefanski said he feels good about RG Wyatt Teller and LBs Sione Takitaki and Tae Davis playing Sunday, thinks they had good weeks, all three are listed as questionable with ankle injuries

Fingers crossed with Teller and Taki

Landry, Harrison, and Wills with full participation is a nice sight to behold.

Here’s my question ... Alvin Kamara tested positive today and the NFLN said he can play in the playoffs IF their game is Sunday

Doesn’t that mean that Ward should be able to play regardless?

Our county health department says 10 after the test...test date does not count....so if you test on the 1st then you can return on the 11th...AK should miss next weekend

It seems he tested positive on Thursday.

The cdc says 10 days after symptoms start.

I thought espn said he was asymptomatic.

yeah, so by this thought, Ward should be good whether it’s Saturday or Sunday I believe

There is no way Kamara can play if the league is being honest and assuming his sample was collected on Thursday with results delivered on Friday unless the sample was pulled prior to game time (say 8am).

Day 1 of isolation ends at 8am on Friday. Count from there and Day 10 ends at 8am on Sunday the 10th.

Wards sample was pulled on the 30th. His Day 1 isolation ends on the 31st. Depending on when sample was grabbed he should be clear (provided healthy) on the morning on the 9th.

It is really about what time the sample was taken at this point more so than the day.

Seems like this is out of control, officially.

Keep in mind the Saints are playing a home game. That buys you one extra day as you do not have to travel with the team (if they were playing a road game, he'd be out regardless).
For Ward to return (assuming we make the playoffs), since we have to travel SATURDAY night, it has to be the Sunday game for him, too. That's what is making the one-day difference between them both being eligible the same day even though Ward tested positive one day earlier.

Unless we decide to fly him separately if he tests negative

Thanks for the great news! Want to watch Teller more. WR's back is good too.

Joe Haden has tested positive for COVID-19 and won't play tomorrow, source told
@DanGrazianoESPN
.

Updated COVID-19 protocols mandate a player who tests positive must isolate for min of 10 days, even if asymptomatic -- meaning Haden will likely be out for first round of playoffs

Haha, true. Except he's not permitted to fly. Then again, if the wild card game is in Pitt or Buffalo, worst case is a 3 hour drive.

Go get tested by 7 or 8 am, get in your own car...hope that the results come back within 3 hours so you can suit up when you get to the stadium, lol.

Not to put anybody down here, but I think teams would have had all of that figured out if it was possible for a player to return as is being mentioned.

Face it, Ward is out. What else is new? That guy is always out.

Yeah, I know. They have to remain safely isolated until cleared.

It would be possible to get cleared by 10-11 am though...3 hour drive, miss the 1st or 2nd quarter...get in there .

2 hours if to Pittsburgh...but the staff would have to decline declaring a player inactive and suiting up one less player on a crazy hope, too.

Worth it for Ward, says I.

#Browns announced contact tracing is complete and there were no high-risk close contacts among players

Among players?

Any other staff members?

Good to get Joseph back with Harrison

Milk already posted this in the covid thread but I figured I'd put it here as well.

So pittsburgh is without:

Big Ben
Watt
Heyward
Pouncey
Edmunds
Boswell
Haden
Ebron

And there are some reports that they’re gonna be rotating in WR quite a bit

With all these guys out, we should be able to run the ball all day.

You would hope

We should win by 20!!!

You would have thought that was the game plan against the Jets, instead we outsmarted ourselves.

Anyone figure this is Rudolphs' last chance, after he loses his career in Pa is done?
I sort of think so.
