The Falcons have already had three players hit the reserve/COVID-19 list, where they’ll need two negative tests for the virus to return to the team. That’s not ideal, to say the least, and obviously we’re waiting for all the other shoes to drop given how contagious this thing is. We just watched it march through the Marlins in MLB, so we’re fully aware of what can happen if teams aren’t really trying to slow its spread.
How are the Falcons handling it, managing containment, and keeping players and staff as spaced out as possible? We will never have all the details on that from outside the building, but it sounds like Atlanta’s done a nice job of building out the team facility in Flowery Branch to weather this, per Matt Ryan.
