He could’ve been the difference in where that game was played tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church leaders said in a statement that available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective and urged members to help limit the spread of the virus. The message was the latest in a series of statements from church leaders encouraging vaccination efforts against COVID-19. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/08/24/even-lds-leaders-are-struggling-get-mormons-vaccinated-against-covid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall this summer when there was a rash of close contacts with Beasley, AJ Klein etc... There were all cleared to play after 5 days from the close contact event and available for the Green Bay preseason game, when we initially assumed that they would not be.

If he misses the Colts game, however... (unless he comes down with bad symptoms). Hope he recovers quickly. Have you already forgotten last weeks game? The one where the 14 point dog beat the Bills?

Here are quotes from NFL Press release: "Unvaccinated individuals will continue to be subject to a five-day quarantine period if they have close contact with an infected individual." "If an unvaccinated person tests positive, the protocols from 2020 will remain in effect. The person will be isolated for a period of 10 days and will then be permitted to return to duty if asymptomatic." https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/2021-covid-related-operating-principles/ Edited November 14, 2021 by cwater10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Hoping he gets well soon if he has symptoms, but I think we’ll be fine as a team. Interior D linemen aren’t my biggest worry over the next two weeks. Hope Star recovers easily, that’s the biggest issue at play imo.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 52 minutes ago, JohnNord said: Man this sucks. Not so much for this week because I think the jets will try to throw the ball, but also because Star had COVID earlier this season and was not vaccinated. That means he’s out for 10 days, and it means he’ll miss the game against Indy which could be a huge loss When did Star have Covid "earlier this season"? I think you are misinformed. He had to isolate for 5 days as a close contact of a trainer who tested positive, which meant at the time (preseason), he was either unvaccinated or not completely vaccinated: https://www.wkbw.com/sports/buffalo-bills/buffalo-bills-wr-cole-beasley-three-others-identified-as-close-contacts-of-trainer-who-tested-positive-for-covid-19 At this point, we do not know his vaccination status, which may have changed since that time. Beane and McDermott both said that more players have gotten vaccinated since the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't it been 10 days, would that mean he is still actually sick and/or likely un-vaxxed? Don't know could just of not gotten two clear tests yet.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 54 minutes ago, Process said: He's unvaccinated so he's out next game too right? We do not know his vaccination status at present, nor whether he was sent home as a close contact or due to symptoms. He was apparently unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated in late August, when he missed 5 days as a close contact of an infected trainer. If he is unvaccinated, he could have been a close contact and could be back in 5 days if he tests negative. If he is vaccinated, he could also be back in 5 days if he's not symptomatic and tests negative. If he's unvaccinated and has Covid, I hope he has a mild case and recovers quickly.

But I don't think it makes a difference in terms of how long he sits out. No it actually does make a difference if he contracted COVID. If you are unvaccinated players are automatically out for 10 days whether you test negative or not. If you are vaccinated, you can return after 2 negative tests. Essentially it can be the difference between 1 game vs 2 games Edited November 14, 2021 by JohnNord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
