He. Must also be cleared by the team’s top physician.Last Monday, Pederson spoke glowingly about the safety precautions the team has taken. “I feel extremely safe,” Pederson said. “Obviously coming into it, there might’ve been some skepticism about the testing and the screening that goes on, but this is very thorough. And when you’re here, you get tested in the morning, you got a screening process that you have to go through to get into the building. Wearing masks in the building everywhere we go.” Eagles head coach Doug Pederson tests positive for the coronavirus. He explained that, as they’ve gone by the "next up man" mentality with player injuries, it’s the same case with coaching staff under the threat of COVID-19. "I think there has to be a plan in place for any coach or any staff member that may miss either a couple of days, or maybe a couple of weeks, because of the virus. So, those are all things that are running through my mind," he said.The Eagles confirmed that Pederson will continue to lead the team from home virtually as well as he can, and that Duce Staley, running backs coach and assistant head coach, will take Pederson’s responsibilities at Novacare. Staley took a question on Friday about just this kind of scenario — whether it was tougher to execute contingency plans for play-calling, because of the type of coaching collaborations the Eagles have and the number of voices in the room“I think that’s an advantage," Staley said. "Because we’ve been doing it for a while, this is nothing new for us. This goes back three and four years ago. We’ve all been pretty much the coordinators. So, if something happens, or we lose a guy, we’ll all step in and continue the job.”A statement from the Eagles also indicated that everyone who came in close contact with Pederson at the facility has been notified and will continue with daily testing and following protocol before coming back to the Novacare Complex.According to SportsRadio 94WIP, the Eagles can start holding walk-throughs Monday, but the team won’t ramp up practicing until later this month.
