The NFL is discussing significant changes to COVID-19 protocols with the NFL's player union, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. One of those possible alterations is changing the 10-day waiting period for asymptomatic players who continue to test positive.
After the news broke, the NFLPA released a statement referencing a September letter that called out the NFL for not requiring daily testing.
“The NFL decided to take away a critical weapon in our fight against the transmission of COVID-19 despite our union's call for daily testing months ago,” the NFLPA said in a Tweet.
