Cheese Curds, 2/17: NFL to discuss making some COVID rules changes permanent

Fans will be back in the stands. Preseason games will happen again. And, hopefully, masks and daily nasal swabs will not be around forever.

But for all of the changes the NFL made in 2020 to protect its players and its product from the COVID-19 pandemic that will be going back to normal, there are plenty that should stick around for a while. In Tuesday’s Cheese Curds we discussed the league’s expanded roster rules — and the Green Bay Packers’ creative use of them — and that area appears to be one where the league is open to keeping some of the changes in place for future years.
