The Bulls have been drama-free so far, and other than LaVine’s left thumb sprain, which he is playing through, the only big setback has been Patrick Williams’ left wrist injury. But that has given backup Tony Bradley an opportunity, and Rivers, Bradley’s former coach, said the 7-footer is learning to become a role player.
For the “It’s his business and no one else’s” crowd regarding the vaccine, well, that argument doesn’t really hold up here. The Packers, 7-1 and in possession of the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs, will now head to Kansas City, Mo. this weekend for a key midseason game without the reigning league MVP. Their offense remains in disarray as a result. Rodgers can’t play. Third-string quarterback Kurt Benkert remains out after his own positive test. And Jordan Love, the projected starter for now, will have to spend the coming days hoping he doesn’t return an ill-timed positive test that could force him out of action Sunday as well.

“Regardless of mistakes that may have been made,” Toews said Oct. 27, “for someone like Stan, who has done so much for the Blackhawks — and Al as well — to lose everything they care about and their livelihoods as well. … I don’t understand how that makes it go away, to just delete them from existence and (say), ‘That’s it, we’ll never hear from them again.’”
Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, is the latest Packers player to test positive. Wide receivers Davante Adams, a 2020 All-Pro, and Allen Lazard missed Thursday’s road victory against the Arizona Cardinals because of COVID-19 protocols. Lazard has since been activated.
