First Round Bust Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Covid-medical-private Sal from WGR speculated if vax would be sooner based on testing results, if not vaxed 10 days quarantine, asympotmatc, etc from pos test date - which was around the date or the very date of the Jets game...so possibility avail just before Saints game, albeit with no or little practice which based on team procedures likely rules him out, Spencer likely out as well... so same lineup as Colts game with Feliciano possibly back (but not much practicing - see above policy and Edmunds as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 From what I've seen, he actually is symptomatic, so I believe he needs 2 negative tests & no symptoms, so no real time table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes back at ANY POINT this season and returns to his very brief peak form.......after getting covid without being vaxed........then I will be pleasantly suprised. I've heard of people coming out of a bad flu and feeling better than ever in a few weeks...........but all the people I know who got unvaxed covid with symptoms have reported feeling off even months later. 4 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 What if I told you that Star never even existed in the first place. His reputation was created in a lab to fool football fans. "Ryan Bates" as well. What you see on game days are 3 "little people" standing in each others shoulders pretending to be a 300lb single individual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Has anyone considered that he could be really sick from covid and not returning anytime soon? Or even he does return goes the way of Dawkins the rest of the season and sucks? Just amazes me that everyone thinks Star is some sort of savior when he didn't play a single down for this team last year. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what anyone says, this game is a must win, and is going to tell us what we need to know about this team. Anything other than a high energy performance with minimal mistakes and winning by at least 10, and I believe the die is cast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Even if he passes all these tests, he’s probably in crap condition. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a month. I hope Brown will be back much sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is there's no fixed timeline. If Star has no symptoms for 48 hrs, he's eligible to return in 10 days even if he still tests positive. Since he went on the Covid list Sunday Nov 14, he would be eligible to come off Wednesday Nov 24th, provided he has obtained medical clearance. He may be required to undergo progressive conditioning before playing. I THINK (but don't know) both of these can happen while he's still on the Covid list. Star will then be exempt from daily testing for 90 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite correct....a vaccinated player can return sooner IF they are symptom-free for 48 hrs and test negative twice 24 hrs apart, OR after 48 hrs of no symptoms and 10 days (like an unvaccinated player). IIRC I read Allen Sills (NFL Chief Medical Officer) saying overall, vaccinated players are returning sooner than unvaccinated players, but only 20% of the return sooner than 10 days.

Star showed up in pretty good shape after a year off, when many speculated he would "let himself go" and either show up too skinny or too fat. I expect he will have continued to work out as his medical condition allowed, but there are too many unknowns to even speculate if he'll come back ready to play or in need of a week or two to work back into shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalftimeAdjustment Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Given that Steve Tasker claimed that Star Lotulelei had a high-risk condition and that is also why he chose not to get the vaccine (unusual statement, medically questionable, but OK)... and that Harrison Phillips said it "is not as bad as it could have been"... that's all we have to go on. Whether he is currently symptomatic or not, "not as bad as it could have been" implies he's probably not in the hospital like Dion Dawkins was (if Harrison Phillips has accurate info). Other than that, he'll be back when he is able to play football and the team is not projecting when that will be, kind of like if he had a concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
