Good to hear NFL is learning from MLB.   Players testing positive for Covid is going to happen on every team.  They will miss about 10 days and be back if like baseball.   But it could be any position and multiple players.  That is why you need in reserve a QB, RB, WR, TE, O Line. D Line, LB, DB,  and that is 8, but 8 more to make 16 sounds right.   NFL can see by looking at MLB that you need reserve players to cover Covid plus NFL has more Concussion.  Covid and Concussion demanding players miss games really shows need for reserves. 

So thanks for post on NFL plans.  Good to hear NFL is making needed adjustments.  Now can kickers punt, can punters kick, because going a game without a kicker or punter is possible.  Maybe a kicker needed in the 16.
