The Rona may have knocked out a DB for this week.
Anyone hearing anything?
That would suck.
It's going to happen, but it'll happen to everybody. We just need to keep Costello from getting it.
It seems reasonable to expect one or probably multiple people out every week going forward. With our depth, hopefully it's just not the "wrong" guys. Everyone is important from a human value standpoint of course, but guys like KJ, Kylin, Errol, Emerson, Cross are pretty critical pieces to our football success.
Not sure if anyone besides Rogers was out with it last week, but since a positive likely knocks a guy out for 2 weeks there's bound to be some cumulative effect.
If we knew about it on Monday or Wednesday then I don't see a huge problem with it. We would have time to adjust. Now if we just found out this morning then that could cause an issue or two.
If we had to lose one for a week, I would rather it be against Arkansas than Auburn, A&M, or OM.
Better against Arkansas than Auburn, A&M or Bama.
E: Damn it Zed! You thunder stealer!**
We play 2 of the more "ground and pound" teams this week and next week in Arky & UK. That eases the blow some.
It's not ideal but it's expected to be a problem at least some this year with what we're dealing with.
Haha! Great minds...Quote:

Secondary is the last place we can lose anyone for an extended period of time, especially our best CB or really even depth pieces at this point.
Do you mean a DB is out for a while or just another defensive player?Quote:

I just figured that could be Emerson because he did play and he went out with an injury for a little bit and thought maybe he played through it and then got evaluated after the game and he could be the one that's out for a while with whatever injury knocked him out of the game. That was just a guess on my part though.
If we have someone questionable for tomorrow, could go but maybe would benefit from not going, I'd dress them and hold them out unless I absolutely needed them.
I feel we score 50 tomorrow and, while Ark may score a little also, they simply don't have the skill talent to keep up with that in any way.
Crazy how quickly we've gone from saying the defense will keep us in the games to the offense will win us the games.
I am not talking about Emerson. I assume he's ok and going to play.Quote:

That's great news. Gotta have him out there. Appreciate the info Homedawg.Quote:

DB doesn't automatically mean CB. Safety is included in that group as well.
He probably caught Covid-19 from LSU players.
2020 will be the year of rampant speculation every Friday
This. It’s why I’m going with this being a glorified preseason.Quote:

You don't go into a clinic in the winter months and get tested for influenza unless you are having symptoms. Even the CDC doesn't recommend asymptomatic testing.Quote:

He wasn't sick when he got the positive back. I don't know if he got sick after that or not......
Eiland has a bone bruise nothing long term to worry about, don't know his status for certain today.
Sharp can hold that spot down just fine. He was better last week.Quote:
