This is a wild situation we’re watching unfold in the NFL right now. The league had been doing a great job of playing the season and beating back COVID-19 issues.
Now, it’s the middle of December and it appears the league is on the brink of major problems as dozens and dozens of players test positive.
I’m told #Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. has tested positive for COVID19, per league source.

I’m not even going to sit here and pretend like I have any idea why this is happening. It doesn’t add up at all to me.
Why are we just now having massive problems in the middle of December? Why is the league all of a sudden engulfed with COVID-19 problems?
Whatever the reasons might be, Roger Goodell and company need it to get figured out immediately.
The Chiefs have placed Josh Gordon on the COVID-19 list.
Gordon did tested positive.

Josh Gordon is fully vaccinated, per a source.
He can return to the Chiefs after he has 2 negative tests 24 hours apart. https://t.co/Mq7oIANA9p

The last thing we need is games getting postponed. Let’s all hope the NFL can put a tent over this situation before it truly spirals out of control.
