Jason McCourty on the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols: ‘They don’t care’

Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty said it’s up to the players, coaches, administration, and staff to take care of one another to make sure everyone is OK physically and mentally, because the National Football League won’t do that for them.

“I think outside of here, the people that don’t have to walk in our building, whether it is the league office, whether it is the NFLPA, they don’t care,” McCourty said on a video call Saturday.

He said the league’s priority is making protocols that sound good and lead to games being played. The Patriots, McCourty said, are doing everything they can to make sure everyone is safe.
