 It seems as if every single year that we're in this COVID version of the NFL, there's going to be a new team that ends up having these crazy types of outbreaks. Last year, initially, it ended up being the Titans, but right before their Thanksgiving game against the Steelers, the Ravens were like, oh no, no, no Titans. That wasn't nothing. Watch this. And now this with all this news coming out about the Browns, it seems as if they are going to be the ones to take the cake, at least for now. And obviously, hopefully this is it. Hopefully we don't hear about it anymore, even though with the Browns, they said it's expected to be even more players because they got a long list. And let's read the list. So, yes, from yesterday, it was Jarvis Landry, Austin Hooper, Jedrick Willis, Wyatt Teller, Drew Forbes, T'Kars McKinley, Jojo Nassan, and Ross Travis. So, active players on the active roster, players on the practice squad, a mix of both. And then from last week, it was David Najoku, Anthony Walker, and then their punter, Jamie Gillil. So, they had, they've been going through it. And it's gotten worse over the week. So then, just to top things off for the Browns, Josh Johnson, he ended up getting put on the list too. And then, again, for the second year in a row, Kevin Stafansky, he goes on the list because we remember last year for the, who were they playing in the playoff game? I can't remember off the top of my head, I really can't. But in their playoff game, Kevin Stafansky, oh, the Steelers, I think it was the Steelers game. But Kevin Stafansky was out, wasn't that, anyway, I don't even remember. But Kevin Stafansky, he missed the playoff game because he had tested positive for COVID. So, and then we've been hearing about just like so many teams, this has been the week, but so many players from so many different teams have just been testing positive like crazy. It's been wild, to say the least. But with the Browns, you add your starting quarterback to that list too. Like obviously, all these players being out, it's a big blow to Cleveland, huge blow to Cleveland, especially when you consider what they're going for right now, their positioning in the AFC, their positioning also in the AFC North, because it's a tight, tight, tight race. Because the AFC North is definitely not settled. And it's just, it's literally wide open. And I mean, I've even seen somebody say like, I don't even care, it doesn't even matter who wins the AFC North, because there ain't no team scared of nobody coming out of the AFC North anyway. We'll see if that holds true once playoffs hit. But with the Browns, this is big. And what's even bigger for them is that they got a game literally like right around the corner, because usually they play on Sunday, but no, this week, they play on Saturday. So with their game being pushed up a day, then that puts even more pressure on the COVID protocols. And let's go over the COVID protocols because it's crazy because we already, there's some rules. I mean, there's so many different rules in the NFL. And in this, this Browns and Ravens game from this past week, I learned of a new one. When the Ravens kicked the ball off, it started bouncing at like, maybe like the two-yard line or something. I was like, Oh man, Justin Tucker, perfect kick. Let's go. So Browns returned, man. He stepped out of bounds, kept his feet out of bounds. And then because the ball stayed in bounds, he stepped out of bounds and then he touched the ball. And it was like, Oh, that's a penalty on the Ravens. It's going to the 40. And I just, I did not know teams could do that. So my point with bringing that up is that there are already so many rules in the NFL. It's already so many rules that we understand, we get them, we know about them, even though I still don't think the NFL, NFL knows what a catch is. But besides that, it's so many rules that we understand. But with the COVID, they have their own set of rules that we've had to learn. We're still in the process of learning and it's just a lot. Anyway, with the rules, vaccinate for COVID. Vaccinated individuals who test positive and are asymptomatic, meaning they have no symptoms of COVID will be isolated and contract contact tracing will promptly occur. Now here goes the kicker right here. The positive individual will be permitted to return to duty. So, hey, you can come back, come through. All right, you want to welcome back to start practicing playing whatever. But the positive individual will be permitted to return to duty after two negative tests. Wait, wait, wait, at least 24 hours apart. So, you have to test negative. After you test positive, you have to test negative to two days. And then, hey, welcome back. Welcome back. So with today being Wednesday, Baker Mayfield and Kevin Stefansky, I believe their positives came today. I believe they would have to test positive. I mean, negative, excuse me, they would have to test negative Thursday and then test negative Friday as well. And then maybe they could play on Saturday. I'm not sure how exactly how that will work. Because again, I see the rules right here, but it may be something that I'm missing, something that I'm just not understanding about it. I mean, I feel like it's pretty straightforward. But we'll see. Yeah, we'll know over the next couple of days. And again, they saying that there should be and there could be even more people added to this long list of players. Because the scariest part about it is not like it's just one position group like remember last year with the Broncos last year with the Broncos when it was all their quarterbacks, everybody in a quarterback room, he said everybody caught COVID, all of our quarterbacks out. It was like, oh, yikes. And we've seen other times when different position groups, they end up contracting the virus and spreading it to each other because they all in meetings together, they all practicing together, they all doing extra work together. So they all spending extra time together. So it may sense why if one position group had, well, if if one position group had it, then it just stayed with them. But this is like literally everybody quarterback, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive line, defensive line. So and again, like we mentioned earlier, it's not just and it hasn't just been limited to the active roster, it's also people on the practice squad as well. But this is why a rule that even after COVID is done in a way with and hopefully that time comes very soon. But who knows, man. But anyway, this is why unfortunately, due to the situation, which is an unfortunate situation which COVID is, it has brought out some positive in some rule changes with the NFL. One of those being injured reserves. Man, I was just talking to my guy Quincy. Y'all y'all are Browns fans. Y'all know Quincy Carrier. That's my guy, man. Shout out to him. Proud of how his channel is doing. Quincy is that dude. But I was just talking to him the other day. We were working together and we were going over how just the rules has changed with injured reserve because I remember back when just maybe even 10 years ago. But when somebody went on injured reserve, that was it season done. Can't come back. And then they change it to where if somebody went on injured reserve, they could come back after I think it was eight weeks. It used to be eight weeks, something like that. And then they had it to where and you can only do one person could come back only one person per year. Then I think they change it to where only like two people could come back after eight weeks from being on injured reserve. And then that's how it was for the longest. But then they changed the rule to where the COVID rule had somebody going injured reserve, they could stay on there just for three weeks. Three weeks. That's it. For three weeks. And after three weeks, they can come back. And it was like, oh, wow, that's like, that's a positive change. And what I was saying is that I hope even post COVID, post COVID that that would stay, they will continue to implement that rule. Because it's just, it just is so much better. And it allows teams, it allows players more flexibility just in case they get hurt. Because what if somebody got hurt? And it's like, all right, you out injured reserve, you out for the year. And it's like, oh, well, surgery went better than expected. The recovery went better than expected. Oh, I can play now. Oh, no, we already put you on the aisle for the year. But now with our game, just three games minimum. And oh, you can come back. And worst case scenario, if you can, okay, you just down injured reserve. So that's been a good one. But another one, another COVID rule has been the practice squad. Before the practice squad used to be, I want to say eight players. I want to say eight players. But now I believe it's 16. It's some high number, whatever the number is, they increased the number of practice squad spots, which was great. And with COVID, they had to because at situations like this, you need to have bodies that can come in and replace all of these guys, Browns are going to have a lot of practice squad call ups this week, a lot. And with that being said, with the practice squad call up, the rules are, and again, all these rules that we keep having and continuing to learn with the practice squad, the rules are a practice squad player has two call ups to the active roster that they can do. So when you call them up for a game, a you've been looking really good and practice this week, we want you to come play. I come through you playing this week. So they call them up, you can do that two times. Now, if you want them to call be caught up for a third time, then you have two options. You either have to add them to the 53 man roster, or you have to release them from the practice squad and they have to clear waivers. So nobody signs them. And then you can sign them back to the practice squad once they clear waivers. But for COVID, if a player gets called up for COVID, if a player gets called up from the practice squad for COVID, then that call up does not count toward their two call ups to the active roster. So expect if a lot of these guys on this long list can go, then expect a lot of guys COVID call up to be COVID call ups. When you replace somebody who's out for COVID, then again, it doesn't count toward your call ups. So anyway, we'll see how this thing goes. Very, very crazy morning. And it coincidentally, it comes on the morning where the NFL and the NFL PA are having discussions on the active COVID protocols. So they are, they're going through that whole thing, that whole conversation. So we'll see what comes of that and what potential changes come of that to all of these rules that we just went over. But Browns are certainly going through it. So hopefully this thing comes and goes and it can be over and done with very soon. And COVID with the Browns and just with the league and really with the world, it can be just like the end of these videos and be out.
