The NFL and NFLPA agreed to update COVID protocols on Thursday.
According to the memo, the new protocol makes masks mandatory for players, staff, and coaches regardless of vaccination status.
The adjusted protocols will follow several guidelines from 2020, such as a weight room limit of 15 players and no gathering for meals. In addition, all meetings must now be outdoors — in large practice bubbles — or virtual.
Here are more details:

Here are the details from that memo on vaccinated players coming back from positive tests. It’s complicated, so I’ll give you all the language, for the 3 of you that are interested. pic.twitter.com/cZwaLRUBcL

On Monday, the NFL reported 37 total positive tests, the highest in the NFL since the start of COVID.
Insanity. The players should rebel.
None of them will, that’s why the League keeps up this insanity.
It’ll work this time for real, guys. I’m super cereal!
I’m happy the NFL is doing this. And when they find out that the numbers continue to go up they will realize that masks and vaccinations don’t do anything.
And I can’t see them canceling the season because the one thing the NFL loves more than political theater and being woke is the almighty $$.
If they actually believed in the efficacy of masks, they wouldn’t be requiring virtual meetings.
Put me in charge and I will eradicate Covid in the nfl with no masks, jabs or social distancing.
No kidding. Just stop testing and no one would even know. Stop talking about every single case and there wouldn’t be anything to cover. No one is actually sick. No one is hospitalized. Most of these players probably had no idea they had it. There is no story apart from stupid testing stats. It’s the boogeyman.
No science behind this but hey since when do facts matter lets just virtue signal from now on smfh
It’s getting comical. All these stupid protocols and over 100 players right now testing positive. The level of mass denial is epic.
The vax doesn’t work, masks don’t work. So vax and mask up, because SCIENCE!!
