The NFL and its players' association agreed to updated COVID-19 protocols with the regular season approaching.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network shared the details, which are summarized below:
- Fully vaccinated players and staff members will be tested weekly instead of every two weeks. They can also opt for a second weekly test, and those who are living with vulnerable people can be tested daily.
- Fully vaccinated staff members and coaches who interact with players are required to wear masks while indoors.
- Players who are not vaccinated must wear masks indoors but do not have to outdoors.
