On Monday there were 36 players that tested positive for COVID-19 and were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 lists around the league, one of which was Chicago Bears defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. This was a one day all-time high for the NFL, and the third consecutive Monday that a season high was set. The league is now mandating that all previously vaccinated Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel that are eligible to get their boost shot, get that shot.
“Tier 1 personnel consist of players, coaches, physicians, trainers and necessary personnel who need direct access to players,” writes Grant Gordon, NFL.
