Bunch more positive tests last week, but nothing affecting the status of a game.  I wonder if reactive fallout is getting more lax due to knowledge, fatigue, bottom line, or better handling.

Yesterday a NY Giants player tested positive.  Turns out it was Graham Gano who just signed a 2 year extension on Sunday.  Interesting juxtaposition of emotions.

If by "knowledge" you mean that teams all are realizing that having a player test positive means practically nothing about his ability to play the game (beyond the next game he'll have to sit out), then yes, I agree.  I would love an expose of all the NFL players who have tested positive and a description of (i) their symptoms, (ii) their treatment, (iii) their convalescence, and (iv) how they're feeling after being "cleared to play."

Do you think we'll get one of those anytime soon?

I threw that out there as a possibility that maybe they learned something that allowed them to change their protocols.  I don't have any concrete info.

In other news, the NFL had 17 players test positive this past week.  That's up from last week, which was up from the previous week (I can't find the numbers anymore).  In all 52 positives this past week.

There is a silver lining though.  The positives all seem to be coming from community rather than player transmission.

Which I guess means that their protocols are good and also means that even in such close contact on the field, it's not that easy to transmit.
