We keep a close eye on NFL Dawgs once they leave Athens, which is why it was noteworthy on Saturday that two former players, both with Detroit, have been placed on the COVID-19/ reserve list.

You can’t blame Stafford in his position - he has little to lose compared to a player like Nauta. With limited interaction in the offseason, younger players like Nauta have a tougher time solidifying their roster spots.
Players on all levels will have to make the decision between personal health and possibly hurting their careers.
