SF LB Curtis Robinson Active For Tonight’s Game - MVDan - 12-23-2021
According the David Lombardi of The Athletic the 49ers have activated former Stanford linebacker Curtis Robinson off the practice squad to be available to play in tonight’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

Good for C-Rob! COVID is awful in some many ways, but if we're looking for the tiny silver linings, one is that there are pro athletes out there who are getting to realize their dreams because the regular cast is quarantined.
By the way, the NFL's new policy of only testing players who disclose that they are symptomatic is about the dumbest thing I could imagine. The justification is that the NFL's data shows asymptomatic players do not spread COVID. That strains credulity, but it makes perfect sense for a league that apparently knew and failed to disclose for years that its players were suffering from brain injuries at alarming rates.
OTOH, I'm grateful that Stanford is being reasonably cautious about the pandemic. Just one more reason that I eschew the NFL in favor of college ball.

Good for him. His time on the Farm was hindered by injury and indecision re position. Seems like a very good guy.

How many players have had serious results from Covid? Players aren’t going to transmit to fans. So, if it’s only between the players, is it truly that dumb? At some point this flips from a pandemic to an endemic. And the rules will have to change. This can’t go on indefinitely.

I’m most concerned about the publicly stated justification for the end of routine testing. It’s false, and it’s spreading that false information to millions of people. At least the NFL should have the guts to say this: “NFL players already take extreme risks to their health by playing pro football. The players who decide to play this season will also have to accept the risk of getting COVID. We aren’t going to quarantine players when they are asymptomatic because we assume most or all players will eventually get COVID this season even if we set policies that are as cautious as the public health authorities recommend because the players are going to be in close contact and unmasked. Because of that, there is no point in testing players who are asymptomatic and don’t require medical attention. We don’t recommend this approach for the general public.”
Even with a statement like that, I’d have some concern that NFL players would be transmitting COVID to the rest of the population because they aren’t living in a bubble like the NBA players did last summer, but I’d be less upset with the NFL as an organization.
COVID may become endemic soon, but we’re currently averaging 1,160 deaths per day (which would imply 423,400 annual deaths). That’s like 40x an average flu season, despite vaccines and extensive non-medical interventions. That doesn’t feel particularly close to being endemic.
