NFL Memo Informs Teams of New COVID-19 Protocols After Vaccinations

The NFL and NFL Players Association announced a number of new health and safety guidelines on Friday to decrease restrictions on vaccinated individuals.

According to a league memo obtained by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, effective immediately, those who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to test for COVID-19 daily and will move instead to a weekly schedule. Additionally, those individuals will not need to quarantine if identified as a high-risk close contact.
