Detroit Lions coaching staff is fully vaccinated, won’t have on-field restrictions

The NFL’s chief medical officer, Dr. Allen Stills, informed clubs back in May that if their coaching staff does not get their first COVID-19 vaccine shots by June 7, they are set to lose their Tier 1 status with their respective teams, meaning they will have heavy restrictions in how they will be able to interact with their own players. Specifically, non-vaccinated coaches will not be allowed to be on the practice field, in meeting rooms, and they cannot have any face-to-face interactions with players.

For the Detroit Lions, that will be a non-issue.
