Six New England Patriots are not playing this season because of concerns about the coronavirus, but will the NFL's COVID-19 strategy keep active players healthy?
Rams rookie Jordan Fuller grew up in New Jersey and played football for Ohio State, but he had Southern California connections before the Rams drafted the safety.
Many of these decisions were made against the backdrop of a Miami Marlins coronavirus outbreak, with four more players on the baseball team testing positive Tuesday to bring the total to 17 within the traveling party.“The NFL’s plan most closely resembles the MLB’s plan in terms of leagues in the United States,” said Dr. Zachary Binney, an epidemiologist at Emory University. “If you’re looking at it and saying, ‘Hey, what’s my risk?’ It’s clearly not zero.
Professional soccer leagues in England, Germany, Spain, and Italy successfully completed their seasons amid the pandemic. Binney attributes that to better control of the virus within those countries, not necessarily better protocols within the various leagues. “I always compared MLB’s plan to the Bundesliga plan in Germany,” Binney said. “I thought the Bundesliga plan was great for Germany, but I always had my doubts that it would work out here in the United States, and now we’ve seen with the outbreak on the Marlins that it has not.”
Binney used a football analogy to demonstrate the importance of sticking to a league’s safety protocols.“It’s kind of like an NFL defense,” he said. “If you’ve got nine guys out there following the coach’s program, but you’ve got two guys freelancing, it’s not going to be hard for a good quarterback to score on you.
