Packers working virtually Monday due to positive Covid-19 test

The NFL will begin contact tracing while it could also look to reschedule Thursday's game. 

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Packers are holding meetings virtually today after a player tested positive for Covid-19. 

Pelissero reports the player in question is rookie running back AJ Dillon

Dillon, along with all NFL players, was tested pre-game on Sunday morning and received the positive result today. 

Along with the obvious need to keep everyone as safe as possible, the NFL will begin contract tracing starting with the running back room, which could lead to the need for the entire position group to quarantine, as we saw with the Bills and their tight end group recently. 

If this turns into a larger outbreak, there is a chance the league could reschedule Thursday's game against the 49ers.

Any thoughts on when the game could be rescheduled to, given that the Packers have already had their bye?

Could potentially be Mon or even Tues, though that would be a last resort. LaFleur said as of today they are still a go for Thursday, but we'll see.

Ya their virtual reality check should focus on the inability to cover guys without grabbing the jersey hoping the ref misses it and how to stop the run. They virtually grabbed all the time and virtually did not stop the run

my disgust with this team begins and ends.how can you justify our picks when the team that the 49ers destroyed in front of the country is virtually the same.team is one game away from super bowl. could not stop a team with a decent o line and a good back last year didnt draft anywhere near fixing our totally inept run defense.i dont hate love,but i resent the fact he will sit 3 or 4 years when were dead in the water on run stop and pass rush,yet nobody is ripping gutekunst for his im the smartest gm in the class act.i sincerly want him gone,his prior years stink too,then nagler defends him.does anyone feel like i do? accountability

If you hit the space bar once after a period your word processing system should capitalize the next word. That will make your comment much easier to read.

"If this turns into a larger outbreak, there is a chance the league could reschedule Thursday's game against the 49ers. "

So in this case COVID might actually do something good? Pettine has work to do or he will get housed again by the 9ers on the ground. 4 days isn't enough.

The Packers list 19 players on the injury list today, 10 of which are defensive players.

My question is, how do players get injured falling to the ground while missing tackles?

Love it: “...how do players get injured falling to the ground while missing tackles?” This made me laugh so hard I peed a little. Hahaha!

I keep wondering how Dillon got the bug. I know that Howard county has a lot of cases over 1000 in the last week or so - but what is the Packers protocol for the players between games and practices? Can they go home or out to eat or what? Just wondering and what happens if it gets spread to Williams etc

Don't the Packers tackle virtually every practice?

Every modern laboratory must be equipped with the latest equipment. A fume hood from https://www.lamsys.com/products/fume-hood/accessories/ for equipping a chemical laboratory allows you to effectively remove gaseous products from reactions, smoke, vapor, vapor emanating from glass or porcelain dishes outside the premises. An electric fan removes volatile substances hazardous to the health of laboratory.
