The Lass Word: Covid Threat Makes Every Game A Wildcard

Staying healthy is key to stretch run.

I used to look forward to hearing that little chime on my phone. The one that is the alert sound from packers.com. I would anxiously log on to the team's official website to see what new bit of information they were pushing out.

Now I wince every time I hear it. I dread that it is a message telling me that another player has been placed on the Covid list, as happened with receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling this week. The complexion and outlook of a team can change drastically with just one positive test for the sickness.
