A Bucs Starter Tests Positive For COVID

August 27th, 2021

In addition to the backup Bucs offensive linemen that were just added to the official NFL COVID list and will not play Saturday in Houston, Joe has learned a Bucs starter also has tested positive.

Joe has the name of the defensive player but isn’t going to share it here at this point. It is Joe’s understanding that the guy is not sick, is vaccinated, and will retest tomorrow in hopes that his latest test was a false positive.

Fingers crossed.

UPDATE: Joe closed the comments here after deleting about 200. Why can’t people be civil and sane when it comes to COVID?
