INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL and NFLPA agreed Thursday to suspend all coronavirus protocols indefinitely, effectively ending the steps the league took to try to counteract the virus over the last two years.
In a memo sent to all 32 teams, the league said the decision was based on CDC guidance, changes to local laws and the advice of experts. The NFL said it will work closely with the union and experts “should there be any reason to reimpose aspects of the protocols” at a later date.
Unless mandated by local law, teams will not require players or coaches to wear masks in their facilities.
