Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera 'beyond frustrated' by low vaccination rate of players

RICHMOND, Va. -- Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera said he's "beyond frustrated" with his players' lower vaccination rate and worries about the potential impact it will have on their team.

Rivera said more than 50% of Washington's players have been vaccinated against COVID-19 as they reported to training camp Tuesday.

"We're not where we want to be," he said.

But Rivera, who was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer last August and underwent treatments during the season, said he's immune deficient.

"With new variant, who knows?" Rivera said of the Delta variant.
