Edit: Apparently a positive test in Atlanta, so they are shutting down their facility for now.

Schefter rides Rap’s tweets so bad; you’re right- it’s kind of a joke

I wonder how many of Ian's manscapers Schefter has bought.

They shut down the perception that onside kicks no longer work. 

This doesn't seem like its going to end up in a cancellation, or even a push to Monday.

was the "MIN game in jeopardy" part of the tweet that he took back or was that added for this thread? seems like that should be taken off, thanks for posting this but nothing i read on this says the game is even remotely in jeopardy at this time. it wasn't even a player. i will say, though, some of the verbiage I'm reading implies it may be more than this one confirmed case and at the least when initially reported it was assumed to be more than that.

From what I’ve seen the game’s not in jeopardy (, baby...oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo) & it was a non-player who tested positive.

It's not like they were going to win anyway. I can suit up as a WR. Let's play the game.

It was a #Falcons assistant coach who was confirmed positive for COVID-19 this morning, per source. The team had the option to return to the facility this afternoon, but decided to operate virtually all day as a precaution. Plan is back tomorrow, barring further issues.

Schefter’s follow up tweet said the game was in jeopardy

And now those of us with Ridley or Gurley (or both) breath a sigh of relief.
