Sure does look bad for this game now.

I agree. Unfortunately I badly need him to play with Julio going down again, but I feel like the COVID thread has been tugged on a little to tightly here and this could all unravel real quick.

"I’m told by #Titans and #Bills players they were told there is an option of playing their Sunday game on Monday or Tuesday in Nashville. If that happens, Thursday night’s game between the Chiefs at Bills would be moved to Saturday. This all just being discussed."

and then there is THIS Mort Tweet that Bills players would not their GAME CHECKS if they cannot play this weekend and I would be irate if I were a Buffalo Bills player.

Saw today that AJ Brown had a deleted tweet wherein he stupidly denied being at the Titans secret practice in a way that made it very clear he was there.
Now I'm worried he caught the virus just like Corey Davis and Adam Humphries did.
And if he didn't, I'm worried he'll be suspended even if the team plays.

I am just worried about the game getting canceled. I also have Tannehill and would love to play both, but if I do and the Titans get more infections I get zeros from two positions. Ugh.
>> The @Titans are back in the facility and scheduled to practice later today. Zoom call with HC Mike Vrabel set for 11 am in Nashville, followed by video CCs with players. Updates to follow.<<GoBirds said:

That's a poor report.
He's been getting treatment and they're going to work him in (rejoin the 1s) and see how it goes the next couple days.
Watch the video if necessary.
People need to stop talking like this was a hammy or somesuch. It's a bruise, a wicked bruise, and has just been about healing, pain tolerance, and risk of future injury.
Today is a walk through so don't be surprised he walks well
and get all excited.
Tomorrow Vrabel is hoping for some speed he was not sure full or jog.
AJs missed out on trainers working him back increasing strenuous activity to test things. I would guess they do some today, privately, after practice. If they can get him on that water treadmill and doing some cuts in the bubble that would be a good sign but that'll be after the practice report and probably private.

We've talked about how he struggles against top corners. Are you gonna start him against White? It might be raining too.
I'm just sticking with how I've been for FF and it doesn't seem reasonable to wait n hope here. Tuesday?
Just hope he gets work in and you can use him next week

He had a Full? ALL SYSTEM ARE GO!

I will likely chance it and roll him out. With Julio out (or a very best really hobbled) I need upside not floor. So it’s either Tim Patrick or AJB. The full practice and plus matchup has me feeling positive, I’m more worried about a game cancellation then his health.

Its a good question. I am not entirely sure.
The bone bruise is because some bone or cartilage has mixed in with where the muscles are, causing inflammation and pain that limits what the person could normally do.
Here is an article that talks about risk factors.
You have to assume their medical staff won't let him play if there are risks of reinjury beyond the normal risks of playing football. Of course we know that some times they rush players back.

I agree with the analysis. As much out of necessity as "riverboat gambling", I've got him in my lineup.

and that's the sound of brakes screeching as the Titans get yet another positive test! UGH!

I saw your post just a couple minutes after you posted and have been talking amongst the leagues the last 45, I'm not even sure I know who is in and out or playing or not playing this week.
Titans and Pats have been Postponed, that was the word I heard.

Over Several leagues, I have a variance of Brown or J Smith. With no contingency options in these big tournament style leagues, I am going to be chewing on this one until kickoff today. I do have T Smith in a couple of them, so I do have an option tomorrow. The rest, with no other viable options, I may have to go with safer guys like J Jeudy, S Watkins, R Cobb or N Hines. Sample or Olsen for J Smith in an other ... It's a little rough!

As a league commissioner we enacted a designated player for last weeks NE - KC game and 4 teams with Mahomes, C H-E, Kelce, and Hill with designated players in case the game was not played. It was, bullet dodged. Now we have TEN - BUF scheduled yet.. so ... so far Singletary, Allen, and AJ Brown are designated.

My league voted down a designated sub replacement rule (3 people said no). So now I'm forced to bench AJ Brown in a smash spot because I don't know if the Titans will play. They need 2 days of negative tests and I can't take the risk of a zero... benching him for Sammy Watkins.

Why? Its not like that benefits just one owner/team. You need a better league brother. Sorry you are forced to make a decision you shouldn't have to make under these circumstances...
Team Smokin'

Those 3 teams probably didn't need it - and the commish could have overruled it. The designated rule in case the game doesn't go on makes too much sense. REVOTE!
EDIT: AJ Brown and designate with S Watkins in case the game gets postponed.
The other issue with AJ Brown is still the Q status. So I ended up picking up E Sanders on MNF as my designated player for AJ. I bought a lil more time if need be.

What if the game is played but AJ brown doesn’t play.
Does your rule cover that?
Im fine with rule changes, I just think it’s silly so many leagues are making changes mid season on the fly.
Team Smokin'
Footballguy
If AJ doesn't play because he's injured or held out, then that is just fantasy football. So start accordingly or roll the dice a lil.
Team Smokin'
Footballguy
I am as well and hedging with E Sanders as my designated player in case the game is canceled buying time.
So, it adds a whole nother strategy dimension or two to managing a team.
It's a calculated risk.

Waiting to hear on White but that would be big.

... is that you Ubertag?
I am the commish. I can't overrule because rule changes midseason must be unanimous, it's in the league charter.
Yes. For clarity:
- You have to designate the Sub BEFORE games start Sunday at 1pm EST.
- The possibly subbed player must be in a spot that can accept him (if you want to sub a RB for a WR, the WR must be in a spot that can handle the RB like the W/R/T Flex spot, we use 2 flex spots in our league)
- Subs can only be used for Monday-Tuesday games at risk of being postponed
- If the game is played but the guy gets injured... tough. The sub is only used if the game is postponed off the week, not for injury.
- If the game is played... nothing happens, life goes on.
You've got to be flexible in these situation because this NFL season is all about flexibility. I think it's silly to be rigid and not adjust to the times. Needless to say, the main person who dissented was facing me this week and wanted as easy a win against me this week as possible, eff the league. He won't be back next year.
