- NFL and NFLPA set to announce changes to Covid-19 protocols
- Asymptomatic players who’ve tested positive may return sooner
- League has mandated non-player personnel to get Covid booster
The NFL is planning “significant changes” to its Covid-19 protocols amid the worst three-day stretch for the league during the pandemic, a person familiar with the plans told the Associated Press on Wednesday night.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details haven’t been finalized, said the league and the NFL Players Association are discussing three main areas: testing protocols; return-to-play guidelines to allow asymptomatic players who’ve tested positive to return sooner; and encouraging booster shots.
