James Bradberry did not contract COVID-19 last season, but he did miss a very important late-season Giants game because of close contact with someone who was positive. At that time there was no vaccine available to the public. This season, under the new NFL rules, vaccinated players would not have to miss any time – practice or games – if they have the same experience Bradberry had in late 2020.
Even with that incentive, however, Bradberry remains unsure of whether he will get vaccinated prior to the start of training camp.
