As the modified Coronavirus guidelines released earlier this week show, the NFL, like the rest of the country, is slowly but steadily returning to normalcy again. This has been made possible thanks to Covid-19 vaccination.
While not all players are happy about this process — the Buffalo Bills’ Cole Beasley and the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Mixon stand out — the fact remains that the league is banking on vaccination. It is actively encouraging its players and personnel to get vaccinated, or alternatively to follow the same guidelines that were in place throughout the 2020 season.
