🏈 🤷🏼‍♀️ Dabo Swinney says on his call-in show Trevor Lawrence will travel with the team and be on the sideline Saturday.

It's my understanding he is waiting to pass a cardiovascular test. COVID can damage the heart.

That's what Dabo said Saturday. He'll be clear, but he won't have passed his cardio test.

He will be past the quarantine / isolation stage. There is "work in stage where he has to do a cardio test. Then practice at 50% then 75%. They are still worried about the long term cardiac issues post Covid. I'm saying its right or wrong, just what it is.

Look in this thread where I posted the protocol... The 10th day is Saturday.

Seems like some of these rules are to complicated. Why not treat this like an injury and when cleared by the medical staff (negative covid and heart test or whatever else is needed) let him play.

He will fill Neptune’s roll for the Shellback initiation

I was supposed to experience that. Pulled out of Norfolk in Sep., '70 for ORI, and a scheduled Liberty stop in Rio. Unfortunately, the Jordanians started kicking out Palestinians, and we were sent directly to the Med. Did not get to cross the Equator, dadgummit!
Roll Tide!

Isn't that what they are doing? The 10th day, with no postive, gets medical clearance. A period of reacclimation for guys who have had symptoms seems fair.

I guess they are so maybe it is the media nit picking. End of the day medical team cleared them to 1st be on the sideline (usually not something an injured player deals with) 2nd cleared to practice and 3rd cleared to play.

I say all this to say if medical folks say he can be on the sideline then so be it. That should be their call their call only.

NO!

I have to hand it to Dabo in one area with Sunshine. When he came out early and said TL wasn't playing against ND he saved both the team and himself a lot of questions this week. "How's TL" would be something asked everyday, by everybody, to everyone. I know that gets tiresome for the players and he's removed one distraction this week.
