The NFL continues to release its plans for a second straight offseason while dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. There is progress being made and optimism is that that in-person sessions will be a part of the OTAs this year, unlike in 2020 when they were virtual.
On Wednesday, the NFL released a memo to teams saying that players who get vaccinated will have less restrictions; will be able to do more things in person; and will not be required to undergo daily coronavirus tests. All of these precautions were mandatory for all NFL personnel in 2020.
Here’s the memo, which also says teams should procure sufficient COVID testing supplies before April 19, while also saying protocols “will be amended in the coming months to eliminate a number of significant restrictions for vaccinated individuals,” including daily testing.
