NFL teams face steep penalties if non-vaccinated players cause a COVID-19 outbreak.
"As we learned last year, we can play a full season if we maintain a firm commitment to adhering to our health and safety protocols and to making needed adjustments in response to changing conditions,'' Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday in a memo sent to clubs that was obtained by The Associated Press.
For purposes of playoff seeding, the forfeiting team will be credited with a loss and the other team will be credited with a win. Nearly all clubs have vaccinated 100% of their Tier 1 and 2 staffs. Teams have appropriate protocols set up for staffers who have not been vaccinated, consistent with the guidance given last April.— If a vaccinated person tests positive and is asymptomatic, he or she will be isolated and contact tracing will promptly occur.
