Will we see a spike in positive COVID tests?
Though fans are likely sick of reading about it, the COVID-related themes won’t be going away, at least for this season. While we would all like to escape into the sports world, we still have to understand what the league is trying to navigate through.
With padded practices and more physical sessions getting underway, it will be interesting to see what happens with the COVID cases. The NFL has surprisingly had a minute percentage of positive tests through the ramp-up period, which is an encouraging sign for the season.
However, the increased physicality of practices raises the question of whether it will also increase positive test results. If nothing else, it will be something to keep an eye on over the next few weeks before the season is expected to begin.
