After two years of restrictions and precautions, the National Football League and its players are now resuming business, as usual.
Effective immediately, the NFL and NFLPA has informed all 32 teams [via a memo issued on Thursday, March 3] that COVID-19 protocols have officially been lifted. The memo states that “current encouraging trends regarding the prevalence and severity of COVID-19” as well as new CDC guidelines and changes to state laws allowed the league to make the move, in agreement with the players’ union.
The suspension of pandemic-related regulations means a great deal of changes to the daily operations of NFL Teams.
