Per NFL.com (~hour ago)... no new positive cases from yesterday's testing... looking good (by 2020 standards).

Have a few options...but definitely would rather have RoJo and Jacobs out there than Lindsay and Higgins.

Basically.
He was away because his wife was giving birth which looks like fortuitous timing for him and his family.

Raiders had multiple violations of violating the protocol though. When it's a 1-to-1 situation I fully agree, give a warning or fine. When you have 3-4 incidents... yeah.

Emmanuel Sanders said that Covid would be keeping him out of two games so go ahead and put away any hope you had of him playing this week.
He also expanded on how he found out about being positive. Said the night before his wife told him she could not smell or taste. Does not tell anyone this, shows up to practice the next day and says he was not feeling well. Tries to run some routes and eventually tells trainers he does not feel well and about his wife so they end up sending him to two doctors who both tested him positive.
My thoughts on this is that it was very surprising he was either that careless or not educated enough to realize his wife reporting no smell/taste and not feeling well the next day was a cause for concern and a reason to not be at at the facility until you were clear. And my other thought was that had he not reported this to the trainers whatever system the league is using did not catch it, probably would have next day but if he had never reported to the trainers he'd have been symptomatic in the facility all day.

Kind of interesting that two weeks in a row, the team playing against Tom Brady has their entire O-line sent home with Covid.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Rotoworld seems to have added the underlined themselves - here is the actual ESPN Article, and is says nothing about "Both teams will need no new positive tests over the next two days for their games to be played":
ESPN
The Denver Broncos have postponed practice Friday after a player tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the player is an offensive lineman.
Broncos coach Vic Fangio informed his team that it will conduct virtual meetings Friday. The Broncos are expected to practice Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
"We were informed early this morning that a Broncos player has tested positive for COVID-19," the Broncos said in a statement. "The player is at home in self-isolation along with two other players who were determined to be close contacts. Our organization, which has been operating under the league's intensive protocols, is in consultation with the NFL and taking guidance from medical experts.
"As a precaution, we have made the decision to postpone today's practice and conduct virtual meetings in preparation for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The team is scheduled to return to UCHealth Training Center for practice tomorrow."
Broncos offensive line coach Mike Munchak has been in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols this week and has not been in the team's complex or attended practice. On Thursday, Fangio would not say whether Munchak had tested positive for COVID-19 and did not offer a timetable for his return.
Denver running backs coach Curtis Modkins tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and did not travel to the Broncos' game against the New England Patriots on Oct. 18. Modkins has been back with the team this week.
A Minnesota Vikings linebacker also tested positive for COVID-19, a source said. The Vikings had coronavirus-related concerns after facing the Tennessee Titans amid the outbreak on that team but did not report a positive test at that time.
The Vikings are scheduled to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

It was off of DraftKings and Fox Bet when I posted but it came back on a little bit later
The Broncos had no new positive COVID-19 tests on Saturday.
Denver had no players or coaches that were high-risk close contacts to RG Graham Glasgow (reserve/COVID-19). It means they'll have RT Demar Dotson and backup RG Austin Schlottmann for a spot start Sunday. The Broncos' Week 8 game against the Chargers remains on as scheduled.

A.J. Dillon, and he tested positive Sunday pre-game.
EDIT: Baltimore Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey tested positive Sunday pre-game too

Where are you getting they tested positive pre game? I didn't think they tested on Sundays

Sunday morning isn't necessarily pre-game

Exactly what i was thinking. Either test that the results are known before kickoff or the morning after the game.

It's a pretty big flaw where the testing doesn't account for the virus' incubation period.

This is what I don't understand. Wouldn't the entire Packers offense fit under this? For sure some of the Vikings defenders.

If it's aerosol spread they're concerned with, "close contact" also involves a time element. Probably no one Vikings players was within several feet of Dillon for minutes at a time. Fellow Packers players on the bench and in the locker room, however, probably were.
Having said that ... droplet spread while being tackled, blocking, etc. can definitely still happen and doesn't require any more than a moment.

Saturday's tests, it seems like, are meant to "clear" a player for Sunday's games because the results come in before gametime. I guess the new Sunday morning tests are to help contact tracing and get an earlier jump on isolating infected players -- under the old testing scheme, Dillon wouldn't have been a known positive until Tuesday morning at the earliest.
Question: Why doesn't the league have all players take duplicate (or, really, triplicate) rapid tests a few hours before games? They'd get results back in less than an hour (less than 30 minutes, I believe). With a ~70% accuracy rate for a single swab, two swabs gets you to 93% accuracy and three swabs gets you to 97.9% accuracy. For those wondering -- a fourth swab gets you to 99.34% accuracy.

There was info recently that it could be cumulative. Was presented in the context of a coworker you were with for only minutes, but several times during the day.
