The fourth week’s game between the Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints, scheduled for 1 p. m. And on Sunday, he seemed threatened after a Saints player tried COVID-19 on Saturday night.
Pro Football Talk reported that The Saints’ side, Michael Burton, tested positive. The team won the positive check after arriving in Detroit, prompting a number of additional checks for players sitting near Burton on the team plane.
The NFL has already postponed two games this weekend due to positive COVID-19 controls. Earlier this week, the game between the Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers moved to Week 7 after more than a dozen titan members, adding several players, tested positive. On Saturday, a positive check for Quarterback Cam Newton forced the switch to Sunday’s scoring game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs for Monday or Tuesday, according to the NFL.
According to the source, the Saints, who are in Detroit, have a player who tested positive for COVID-19. Lately tests are being conducted on those who were in contact with the player, who on the Flight of New Orleans.
According to NFL protocol, Burton, assuming he is asymptomatic, will be re-examined to avoid a “false poive. “Two consecutive negative tests are needed the next day to avoid having to fall.
The protocol was replaced in August after Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford tested positive before the start of in-person exercise camp and placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list. Subsequent tests were negative for Stafford and he allowed exercise with the team.
According to a memorandum sent to all club presidents, general managers and head coaches through NFL Medical Director Allen Sills, a player with two negative follow-up tests “is not positive for COVID and can resume all of its overall activities, adding access to the facility. “
In August, Sills said the NFL’s COVID-19 control “is incredibly accurate for detecting targets,” small pieces of RNA that fit the virus sequence.
“But as I said before, you can have those little RNA fragments provided for many other reasons that don’t reflect a new and active infection,” he said at a conference call on Friday. “So I think it’s kind of hard to perceive because I think we’d all like those check boxes as a home pregnancy check, right?It’s positive or negative, there aren’t two imaginable results yet. And that’s not how those COVID check pictures and I think it’s a complicated and complicated message to master, yet it reflects the lack of being able to have a direct viral control that actively cultives the virus. “
Burton was selected through the Lions in 2015 in the fifth circular and spent his first two seasons in Detroit. The New Jersey home is in its first season with New Orleans after betting on Chicago and Washington.
