The #Giants had a player who tested positive for COVID-19, sources tell me and
@RapSheet
. The player and his close contacts are not in the building today. The rest of the team is there, proceeding as normal.
I am all for cancelling Monday's game LOL

Maybe if they had higher EQs they would have avoided this all together

I hope this isn't related to the DJ/Saquon incident. The last thing I want on top of a terrible season is a terrible, drama-filled season.
Pretty sure it would be more than one player

I think we rule out Engram - dude can't catch anything!!!

Sorry - I couldn't resist.

Hernandez.
Yep. It's Hernandez

Sounds like it could have a wider impact:

More on the #Giants, from me and
@MikeGarafolo
: Two #Giants coaches were sent home because they were considered COVID-19 close contacts: OLB coach Bret Bielema and DBs coach Jerome Henderson. So now several OL and two coaches.

OL Will Hernandez is expected to be placed on the COVID list, per source. Several Giants OL were told to stay home Thursday.

Hopefully this mirrors the Raiders situation and everyone else comes up clean. If say you have Hernandez, Gates, and Zeitler go down -- the Giants can't safely play a game next week.

I wouldn't count on that. I would bet the Giants would have to bring up OL off practice squad.

This is a Monday night game- the NFL will do whatever possible to play this game OR move a second game to Monday to make sure at least one game happens. There can't be a Tuesday game because of the election.
It s a virus

People catch it. These leagues are doing a great job managing it. Many were adamant there was no way, glad they were wrong.

I m enjoying the games this season, Giants have kept me engaged.

The close contacts were not considered high risk, they will be back tomorrow
