Well, we DEFINITELY know it's not from our players taking the extra effort to practice on their own and get better.

Bruh.... lol

If Darnold follows up mono with Covid he should be cut lol

[Jerichoholic]

Dont let this dominate you, dont fear it, it's no big deal, vaccines are coming and said person is now immune once they recover!

I have trouble believing science can come up with an effective vaccine to Gase’s coaching

I have the Cardinals defense

Let's all hope it isn't Frank Gore, as the elderly are a high-risk group.

I honestly hope the game gets postponed. I can use a Sunday without disappointment. 

What is the deal with this? 

We need two straight days of no positive tests? 

Game delayed until Monday, perhaps?

yea?  and how about the support staff that surrounds them?  It's not just about the person infected; it's about the spread of the disease.

For sure, I actually started to type out that the bugger concern should be for the players parents and grandparents were who now at greater risk but got lazy.

All of which make the flu a potential killer too.

I had us 2-2 in the predict the schedule thread but I predicted the season would be cancelled after week 4 so I feel like I must still be in the running right?

But we can still hope they cancel the season due to the circumstances. 

The problem with hoping that they cancel the season now is that it gives Gase a legitimate shot to return as our HC in 2021. 

The Johnson's already decided not to fire him after the Denver game, so you have to assume that we need the Jets to embarrass us a few more times this season before Gase is officially getting the axe.

Or Mims

Mims seems to be okay, although his right hamstring tested positive for COVID.

[RichardTodd27]

Amazing, they shut down an entire practice/facility for 1 positive test.

Might be time to change this policy with the improvement in treatments and miniscule mortality rate.

It's happening. Our hopes and dreams are coming through. They're gonna cancel Jets games. 

I'd rather us play and lose so we can get # 1.  Game cancellations would only ensure we're likely out of the sweepstakes.

and that Gase gets another shot. Which is the nightmare of all nightmare scenarios. 

[JetNation]

There are several reports saying that the Jets have had a player test positive for Covid. First, let’s start by saying if this is true we hope they recover very soon. Being on the injury report for Covid is different than a pulled hamstring, so player safety and health comes before everything else.

As far are the situation goes, the tweets below tell the story as we know it right now. The players have been sent home, the player involved is being retested. The Cardinals are scheduled to fly to NJ today for the game on Sunday. Anything else is just speculation at this point, so we will let this situation unfold. The NFL has pushed games back a day or two in the past, so we should know more soon.

Per source, the Jets have a "presumptive positive" test result. They've sent the players and coaches home out of an abundance of caution. The player is being re-tested.

The Jets player who potentially tested positive has been re-tested. Results should be known at some point today. Players were in the building this morning when the team became aware of this, and were sent home immediately. #Jets

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 9, 2020

Jets are having their offensive players tested again this morning because they are believed to have been in close contact with the player that tested positive for COVID-19, per sources. #TakeFlight

— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) October 9, 2020

Reminder that, depending on circumstances, the NFL has indicated it will not postpone a game for a single positive test. Much will depend on test results for others, what contact tracing shows about close contacts, etc.

Hope whoever it is, they get well soon, and those around then, whether friends family, or teammates also be safe.

So do I. I’m sure it’s not Herndon, he can’t catch anything. Seriously though, hope its a false positive. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.

[heymangold]

seeing a verified twitter account stating the player got retested and is negative... so who knows.

From NFL.com

This is interesting to me for a couple of reasons.  First, the positive test still needs to be confirmed.  Second, if it is confirmed then the Jets' "Patient zero" who was the first to be infected may have infected others who will not test positive until perhaps tomorrow or later.  This was the oversight in the NFL policy, that a player could have been exposed and infected but tests negative for a couple days until the virus replicates enough that the viral load is big enough to show a positive test.  The Jets could have several infected players even if only one has tested positive so far.

EDIT: Disregard.  Seems like a false positive now. lol

 

 

[jetstream23]

And so here's what happens....

That very bad Jets team loses an important practice day just two days before the game.  The tank is truly on!!!  Even the medical community is trying to push it along.
