DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2021 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 7 Patriots 45 Chubb has COVID

Well, this could suck: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...-demetric-felton-tests-positive-covid-19

Looks like D'Ernest is our one healthy back (unless they have 2 negative tests between now and Saturday). I don't know who is on our practice squad any more, but a few FAs that might be interesting for a 1 or two week rental:

Todd Gurley
T.J. Yeldon
Frank Gore (maybe bad idea, he's training for a fight and he's 38)
Kerryon Johnson

Frank Gore is busy getting ready for his boxing debut.

Yeah, was editing to include that

Sadly Derrick Henry was just hurt and the Titans had first dibs on available RB's leaving us the leftovers to choose from if need be.

How about Todd Gurley? (though I expect us to go after a back we like from someone else's PS)

Other teams with huge needs at running back haven’t even worked Gurley out. Either his knee is completely toast or he is not interested in playing.

We should be fine with D’Ernest for one week. I’m sure we can get Stanton the ball out of the backfield and even Landry. The problem is if Johnson pops up a positive test in the next few days. I am sure Andrew Berry has a list of names that can be plugged in and we’ll see one of those guys signed tomorrow.

Just about 7 days ago, I was listening, to, some team had 2 DL with covid, one was positive one was a contact, it, I think it was Cincy or else patriots, maybe Pittsburgh, either way, I thought, to myself, hmm, I hope our Rb's don't get it if their dumb team has 2 DL with it and the Browns were about to play them. Maybe it was Pittsburgh.

Ain't it funny how the NFL orchestrated that an East Coast team, (this time the pats, earlier this year the Jets vs the titans, late last year the Jets, vs. the Browns.)
How an east coast team wont have to face a team at full strength in one area of the team, and a strength of that team.

Either way, The Browns are done for 2021. and the NFL is done for 2021.

If the Orchestrated outcomes, and False penalties that change games outcomes haven't proven that the entire NFL
should not even be broadcast on any media,
then I don't know what could.

It's worse than Pete Rose and gambling.

What would it take for chub to be able to play?

the Browns barely stood a chance to compete with the Patriots WITH Nick Chubb playing,

Now it will be a blow out win for the Pats for sure.

The NFL Got what it wanted, they can post the narrative that the patriots are back and of course.
KNow this for sure.

The Loser of the Pats, Browns game will not be a playoff team.

When the Browns win can promise not to post until next season?

If we have to lean on Johnson and Kelly this week we can still win this week.

I think Kelly has COVID, too!

Correct. Kelly was the first to go out with Covid.

And what about that kelly kid? What happened to him?

I think Kelley has CV.

Mack Wilson can Carry the Ball on Tackle Eligible plays. I think it would go well.

The same goes for Taki Taki.

They are built for the size, speed and mobility of a running back.
Wondering Where Tre Harbison ended up, I think, IIRC, Tre Harbison Rb would not be eligible for the Browns because, he went on IR before the cut down day.
I can't remember if Harbison, went on IR or was picked up by another team when injured.
One hit, on concussion,
and his whole trajectory which John Kelly has, could have been Harbison.

And if 'ifs' were fifths we could all get drunk.

I heard about this on 92.3 FM today. Ugh! But I guess we have to expect some players testing positive in this age of covid.

Me too 3rd. Losing Chubb is a killer. Hopefully D'Ernest can lead the way.

Chubb could be back before the game this weekend... but I think we'll survive with Johnson. He desperately wants the chance to show out again, we should let him.

It seems since after the KC game we haven't been able to put a healthy team on the field. It's getting a bit tired.

It has to be two negative tests within. 24 hours correct? But does it not take 10 days for a negative tests to show up after your first positive?

Hopefully he’s symptom free. When I had it, I was negative after 4 days but still had symptoms

Aren't you negative all the time?

Lol nice

It's two negative tests 24 hours apart. You can test negative after one day but it's not realistic. I doubt he is out more than one week.

Chubb is superhuman. I predict he plays Sunday.

I'm thinking you're right.

Unlikely, but hoping he can

I guess that COVID is the only thing that could catch Chubb.

Chubb should offer to play with a mask on and he might only rush for 120 yards.

I dont remember or see anything about kelly. When did this happen? Was it last week?

LMAO!!!

Lot's of good wearing a mask and getting the vaccine did for the guy. How could that happen?

Take the BS politics elsewhere.
