The Patriots' facility is back open this morning after the team canceled practice Friday afternoon following a positive COVID-19 test.

The team continues to prepare to play Sunday at 1 PM vs. the Broncos.

I have a interesting question. How are all these athletes filming these commercials? Wouldn't that be breaking protocol? Or you think these were all done in the off season?

nope. I have friends that have worked on some of these commercials. Some as late as August.

Thanks cheese, I knew you would know. So are they breaking the NFL covid protocol? Probably not or they would be in trouble. Probably sponcers of the NFL so it's all good???

im sure they were in August. Most of those shoots happen in LA so there had to be travel involved.

that said, my friends who are working on sets are tested daily and have mask mandates at all times. Three friends... a ton of different productions (one works freelance on commercials, another works in a studio and another is a stand-in on an ABC sitcom), all working since anywhere from July to August... haven’t got Covid yet.

So the legit big time productions are being as safe as they can, but from what I’m hearing on the other end is that the overhead is huge now. And it’s leading to some bubble shows bursting early... even those that got second seasons ordered and written during the quarantine and are now too cost prohibitive to shoot so they dead.

Panthers placed K Joey Slye and OL Trent Scott on the reserve/COVID-19 list. They are going on the Covid Reserve List not because of a positive test but because of close contact, per source.

The #Raiders are placing RT Trent Brown on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, per source. Contact tracing is underway; they’re coming off a bye and players were off Tuesday, so minimal recent contact. Facility is open and practice begins shortly.
