No veterans have been at camp yet,  I heard yesterday that it was likely that they have been exposed to sugarman and not actually tested positive and thats why they are on the list.

Brutal that they will be out 14 days. That is a lifetime in training camp time. I'm really starting to feel like this is going to be a shit show.

I just don't see how the whole team doesn't get "exposed" once one guy in the locker room gets it.  If a center gets Covid, you think at a bare minimum the whole line and the QB are exposed.  Or all the guys in the huddle?  Maybe give everyone radios and ban the huddle for a year?

I think the NFL's use of a Covid list that doesn't specify whether it's an infection or exposure is a smart move.   Limiting public info gives them more control over the narrative and the ability to proceed with a season as opposed to being shut down by a social media mob which might happen with MLB.
