Detroit Lions Place Matthew Stafford on COVID-19 List, and Fans Are Worried

Well he is rising up the charts in my fantasy league! I want all players that already have or had covid prior to the start of the season!

He did not opt out. This is a COVID list for player that have been exposed or have it. He will play this season as long as he gets a negative test. Or gets Over COVID. This is not an opt out

Oh my gosh this is so shocking. Another "positive". How many athletes have to die before we realize another lockdown is necessary

Y’all need to chill season doesn’t start for a month he will have time to get healthy as everyone else he didn’t opt out, he either had COVID or was near or with someone that tested positive

damn there goes our super bowl ring :/

If asymptomatic or minimal symptoms, Stafford will be back before pads are put on. And in theory, @Lions won't lose him to COVID again this season.

Cancel the season

Damn, life needs to give this family a break. Hoping his wife and kids are ok as well.

Darn you 2020....usually it’s 4 or 5 games in before my “this is the Lions’ year” hopes are dashed!

Just a matter of time before someone dies or is maimed for life.

And it won't be just one.

Here's the real question: How many will be necessary before folks no longer have the stomach for these obscene Pandemic Leagues?

Probably a good thing for him & the Lions. Get it over with pre-season so it’s not an issue during it.

Imagine a world class athlete dying from COVID because we demanded they dance for our entertainment during a global viral pandemic.

He is so unlucky. Always something w him

This may seem like bad news, but if the season still happens, it’s better to get it now than later. Big IF tho.
