With all that has happened the last week-plus, the Coronavirus pandemic has taken a backseat. But Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan doesn't want people to forget.
Trevathan said with all the talk about football coming back, he doesn't want us to “forget about corona, bro.”
The veteran linebacker said he is still concerned about if he is in training camp and another player tests positive, that he won't be able to play anymore.
“I’m more worried about corona than I’m worried about that in football,” Trevathan said via J.J. Stankevitz of NBCSportsChicago.com. “I’m not worried about, I mean it still exists in the world so let’s not forget about corona, bro. You know, I might go to camp and somebody might have that and I might not be able to play no more.”
Akiem Hicks also said he is worried about it because of how physical the game of football is. Hicks is confident the NFL is doing everything in their power to make it safe, but he's still worried.
“It is scary,” defensive tackle Akiem Hicks said. “It’s scary to think that most of my job is physical contact with other players. And so boy, I don’t know. I don’t know. I want to be safe and I’m sure they’re going to do their best to make sure we’re in the best possible situation in order to be able to play this game and do it, right? But it’s scary. That’s how I feel.”
The good news for the NFL is it's still a few months before the regular season starts. By that time there should be an even better understanding of the virus, and there will be more time to try and come up with a safe plan to make sure everyone stays healthy.
