New COVID-19 protocols released for fully vaccinated NFL players, team personnel

Just like the rest of the country, the NFL is relaxing restrictions on people who are fully vaccinated. New protocols were announced on Wednesday in a joint statement from the NFL and NFLPA, the union representing NFL players. These are the things Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott have been discussing for weeks; a return to normalcy.

The biggest change for individuals is fully vaccinated players will no longer be tested daily. The language is a little up in the air (will it still be once a week or less frequent than that), but non-vaccinated players need to be tested every day.
