ESPN reports that the NFL and NFLPA have been in discussions on Friday about rescheduling Saturday’s Raiders-Browns game, likely to Monday or Tuesday.
“A decision could be announced within the next hour, before Raiders are scheduled to travel to Cleveland,” Dan Graziano notes.
Should the game take place on Saturday, the Browns would be without a long list of players dealing with COVID-19 — including Baker Mayfield, backup QB Case Keenum, and Jadeveon Clowney. Cleveland’s coach Kevin Stefanski would also miss Saturday’s game.
UPDATE: The NFL and NFLPA are now discussing postponing “multiple Week 15 games,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“The league is getting pressure to move games.”
How about we just let the ones who are actually sick stay home like we’ve always done, and the ones who are asymptomatic just play like we’ve always done. So dumb to treat it any other way.
These decision makers have lost their minds. Seriously.
It ain’t leprosy, and the players aren’t morbidly obese men in their 60’s. Their team bus is more likely to run into a lake than anyone to become seriously ill. The Covid insanity never ends.
I agree with all the comments this silliness has to stop stat!!
