Number Two: Preventing COVID-19

The New Orleans Saints are the first NFL team to have a scheduled bye week so far this season and it will be important to make sure members of the team do not contract COVID-19 while they are enjoying their days off.

More than likely most of the team will spend time at home with their families and rest up for a big second half of the season, but there’s always those guys who want to go out and travel and do anything besides staying at home.

If a player on the Saints contracts COVID-19, it can and most likely will put a spiraling effect on what is already a whirlwind season for the Saints.

The best thing Saints players can do is stay at home and enjoy their quality family time, but if they do choose to travel they need to make sure they are following proper COVID-19 guidelines, so the global pandemic doesn’t continue to affect the NFL.
