The NFL and NFLPA will no longer require COVID-19 surveillance testing of players and coaches regardless of vaccination status, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
This is another step toward a sense of normalcy for the league, for the first time since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the U.S.. Back in March of this year, the league announced that COVID-19 protocols were no longer required as well.
However, testing will still occur for players and staff “when clinically indicated and/or at the direction of the club physician.” Additionally, anyone who experiences symptoms will need to test negative in order to enter the club’s facility.
