Guard Chris Reed becomes the second member of the Panthers to join the NFL reserve/COVID-19 list in three days. Defensive back Derrek Thomas was placed on the list on Sunday. Coach Matt Rhule said the team did some additional testing before taking the field today. Practice was delayed from 11:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers on Tuesday placed offensive lineman Chris Reed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Reed is Carolina's second player to be placed on the list, joining defensive back Derrek Thomas , who was added Sunday.

"It's a virus. It's in the air," head coach Matt Rhule said late Tuesday afternoon. "It's infected hundreds of thousands of people. I think we've realized all along we would have to put people on the COVID list."

The Panthers were scheduled to start Tuesday's practice at 11:50 but delayed that about three hours to do additional rapid results testing. 

"At the point-of-care testing, that gives you the results in approximately 20 minutes," Rhule said. "We did our normal testing this morning as we got here and just kind of listened to our doctors and trainers and went out and did a second round of the point-of-care testing."

Entering his sixth pro season, Reed appeared in three games for the Panthers last year after the club claimed him off waivers in December. He played five offensive snaps and eight special teams snaps for Carolina in 2019.

Originally an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State, Reed spent four years with the Jaguars before playing the majority of last season with the Dolphins.

Due to the league policy pertaining to COVID-19, teams may only comment on a player's roster status. They may not disclose whether a player is quarantining or tested positive.

Test results in 20 mins seems like something that could have a major influence on the season (and, you know, life in general) any stats on how reliable it is?

Yeah, who knows. The nfl had 77 false positives last week. That was from a singe lab failure, but it shows these tests can be flawed at times. 
 

I guess we’ll see.

I hate to say it again but with only 2 weeks to go till the season starts I have major doubts it will happen.  Hope I am wrong but I do not want anyone with long term health problems so I can be entertained.

Idk...  on one hand, not being in a bubble, players are bound to get it.  That being said, they've been coming and going from facilities for well over a month now, and have hardly had any infections, and where they have had them, they haven't spread.  So, I'm hopeful.  I've been watching Hard Knocks and one of the teams (I want to say the Chargers) had a positive case as soon as camp started and from what I've seen, it was kept contained to that one player.

Their protocols seem to be working.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
