Colts place Carson Wentz on COVID-19 list

The Colts announced on Tuesday that Wentz, who is unvaccinated, has been placed on the COVID-19 list. If Wentz tested positive, under the league’s current protocols, he is out for 10 days. That means he’ll miss the Week 17 contest against the Raiders but has a chance to play in the season finale against the Jaguars — though he would have little practice time for that contest.

Unnecessary. I could beat the Jags..................

[Kid Shelleen]

Unvaccinated Aaron Rodgers still favorite to win MVP.

[dfwgator]

I thought Brady was the favorite.

[PGR88]

Even though Covid positives and spread in the NFL is now entirely vaccinated and even boosted players and coaches, the NFL recently STOPPED testing asymptomatic vaccinated players.

The goal is to focus ONLY on the unvaccinated 1-2% that remain.

Hypocrites!!

[markman46]

Because a lot of players stopped getting tested

[dfwgator]

Just when I was starting to root for the Colts, because of Wentz.

[nickcarraway]

Better this week than in the playoffs...

[SamAdams76]

This COVID PROTOCOL nonsense in the NFL is more convoluted than the salary cap rules.

[nickcarraway]

They should be able to beat the Jags without him. And if Taylor is running at top form they should be able to beat most teams with their backup QB.

you would think people would understand the lies and manipulation that has going on since before day one....

I get so tired of the willful ignorance...

Aaron Rodgers will be sitting out this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs because he has tested positive for COVID-19

Wasn’t the draft pick the Eagles got from the Colts contingent on Wentz’ making some number of starts?

Wasn’t the draft pick the Eagles got from the Colts contingent on Wentz’ making some number of starts? Nope. It was snaps. He had to make, as I recall, 75% of snaps or just 70% if they made the playoffs. Something like that. I think after playing 15 of the total 17 game schedule he's already tripped that threshold at this point so the pick is going to Philly regardless of what happens next.

though he would have little practice time for that contest.

Pu-leeze...its the jags...

[Tallguy]

I looked it up and you have it exactly right... 70% of snaps plus a playoff appearance OR 75% of snaps.

Makes perfect sense to base it on snaps rather that starts. It’s a measure that’s harder to fudge.

[blackberry1]

Brady has more yards passing and TD’s than Rodgers. Green Bay had a much weaker schedule.

Rodgers lied.

[circlecity]

Colts are destined. If we could do it without the entire starting offensive line last week we can do it with our backup QB this week. Better now than the playoffs.

[Old Yeller]

No longer news, since it was Nov. 5th.

[Adder]

Wentz, who is unvaccinated, has been placed on the COVID-19 list.

Along with 105 other players, the vast majority of whom are vaxed and boosted...

STFU
