NFL players who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will face far fewer restrictions and requirements as they head into the 2021 season.
The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a set of more relaxed guidelines for vaccinated players to follow while keeping things stringent for those not fully vaccinated, multiple reports said Wednesday.
Fully vaccinated players no longer will be tested for COVID-19 daily, will not need to wear a mask while inside their teams' facilities and will not face travel restrictions. They will not be required to quarantine if exposed to someone with COVID-19.
