Dantzler placed on Covid-19 reserve (edit: now NOT playing)

[purplefaithful]

The Vikings’ cornerback group was already thin after the bye week, with Mike Hughes and Holton Hill still not practicing because of injuries. On Wednesday afternoon, they had to use the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list for the first time since training camp on another one of their corners.
The team placed rookie Cameron Dantzler on the reserve list Wednesday, after Dantzler was not seen at their afternoon practice. Dantzler’s placement on the list either means he tested positive for the coronavirus or was in close contact with someone who did. Vikings players were required to stay in the Twin Cities and undergo daily COVID-19 testing at the team facility during the bye week.
Dantzler’s placement on the list means he could miss the team’s game against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The NFL updated its coronavirus protocol last week, requiring players to isolate for five days if they’re deemed a “high-risk” close contact with an individual who tested positive.
The Vikings added cornerback Mark Fields to the active roster on Monday, and claimed former Lions cornerback Chris Jones off waivers, while adding Marcus Sayles — who spent part of the offseason with the team — to the practice squad.
When asked on Wednesday about the batch of new players in the secondary, coach Mike Zimmer said, “Well, we've had guys hurt. What else? It's a five-day, six-day [process] before they can enter [the building] so if guys are hurt, it's going to take a while for them to get up to speed, and we don't know if these other guys can play or not, so we'll just see."

I knew Zimmer was gonna regret that "I've never had a bad defense" remark the minute I heard it.

The NFL's defenses all suck this year, scoring is up and holding calls on offensive linemen barely exist. This isn't the year to hold Z's feet to the fire on that comment. Oh yeah, he's missing Hunter, Pierce, Barr and a myriad of combinations due to injury/youth at cornerback....and they just traded the team's leading sacker.

Lol, all aboard the Zimmer excuse train!  Everyone else jumped off Sticky, you'll have to shovel the coal into the boiler by your lonesome.

I knew what was coming the instant I heard it.  I didn't know how exactly, fate took care of that.  I just know what Zim sticking his foot in his mouth looks like and what happens next.  After seven years observation it's not hard to figure.

Its not an excuse, its a reason. Listen, I know your schtick is too shit on everything Zimmer/Spielman this year, trust me we got it...ad nauseam. Certainly they aren't beyond reproach and I've said as much many times. But this particular bitch you have isn't legit, there are reasons. The other criticisms are worthy and I agree....but not this one. Z's act has grown old with me, time for a change.

Three corners down. Sounds like a Tom Clancy novel. So presumably our only healthy corner, Jeff Gladney, gets Davante Adams. And Kris Boyd and company take on the rest.
