Its uncertain what will happen if a gamer on the COVID-19 list cant return after 3 weeks, at which time he will be eligible to go back to practice. He must be returned to the active lineup within three weeks after that, or he will revert to IR (absent an injury settlement).
Yes, the NFL and NFL Players Association already have actually reached an agreement relating to the procedures for dealing with gamers who test positive for COVID-19.
Per a league source, the league intends to alter the hurt reserve guidelines to develop a COVID-19 classification. Gamers who test positive will be put on the COVID-19 list for three weeks, developing a roster spot that would then be filled with a player who is unfavorable for the virus.
The objective will be to keep the lineup strong and to prevent shutting players down for the complete season. The wider goal will be to keep the league from collapsing if teams suffer outbreaks that shut them down.
The procedures have not been completed. The leagues owners, who are due to fulfill tomorrow, quite potentially will vote on the step then.
