KDKA just announced it, didn't name the player.
Steelers player tests positive for Covid per KDKA
- Thread starter slashsteel
- Start date
Oh they did say he is self quarantining.
It's funny how when its reported that a player tested positive for the virus, none of the media is concerned at all for the players health. It's more so that the game could be in jeopardy of being played.
Just goes to show how dangerous this virus truly is...

Just have to wonder if this is carry over from Rats week or if this came from somewhere else?
Sucks this happened. I did read a staffer with the team got it late last week too so it could be from that guy.
They need to tighten **** up and keep this from spreading.

I think it is dangerous for people with comorbidities-low immune system. It would be less dangerous if there was a vaccine obviously.
obviously the Steelers will be forced to forfeit this weekends bungle game
well sure. Clearly they need the rest since they had such an early bye. Plus, they can take some time now and have some proper classroom training with regards to proper sock attire.
The CDC just came out with this recently (yes, the CDC). 99.99% survival rate for anyone under the age of 50 who contracts the virus.
Pfizer just announced a vaccine with a 90% efficacy rate.
While we will know in a short time the name of the player who tested positive, it is worth noting that tight end Vance McDonald missed Friday’s practice with an illness. He played 24 snaps, including special teams, in yesterday’s game. Humphrey also missed practice due to illness shortly before testing positive.

Not sure why these teams are playing guys who had an illness and had to miss a practice given the risks involved in having a significant portion of the team sit out.
How long will he be on the list is it ten days?
What is it for over 50? I fall into that group. Getting old sucks .lulz
Just wait.
I agree. He should not have played.
Good question. If I can find it I'll share it (likely 50-64 age group).
I have a feeling you're gonna outlive us all.

Well, he didn't play well.
On the 4th down at the end of the game Old MacDonald was channeling Whiff Johnson (from the Packers SB) as he missed his block and Conner got rocked. While this play also resulted in a turnover, at least the cost wasn't the chance to win the SB.
I'm sure the tackler was doubly happy today, getting that 4th down tackle for loss, and knowing that his brush with Covid was a miss, at least on that play.

I probably take a bigger risk getting covid when I go grocery shopping at the local store. These guys are in top peak condition. ....Come on man.
Speaking of before I forget. McDonald if you see this we wish you a speedy recovery. God speed!
Just treat Covid like a certain DB. We know then you will kick its ***!
My favorite thing about that (aside from him treating Conte like a fly on the windshield) was Cam's reaction.

He played cause he didn’t test positive. There is still such things as the common cold, allergies..etc.
Every illness is not COVID now, as you might be lead to believe.
