Fully vaccinated players, staff no longer required to wear masks at NFL team facilities Published: May 14, 2021 at 04:12 PM Grant Gordon Copied!
Fully vaccinated NFL players and tiered staff will no longer be required to wear masks inside or outside at club facilities, the league announced Friday in a memo obtained by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
The updated protocol comes following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s easement on Thursday of mask-wearing guidance for fully vaccinated people. Effective immediately, fully vaccinated Tiered staff and players will not be required to wear masks anywhere in the club facility, either indoors or outdoors, the NFL memo read in part. An individual is considered fully vaccinated if 14 days have passed since the individual received his or her last dose of COVID-19 vaccine (either the single dose of Johnson & Johnson or the second does of Pfizer or Moderna).
Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy will miss his first chance to work directly with quarterback Justin Fields and the rest of the 2021 class during this weekend s rookie minicamp.
The Titans have signed their top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Tennessee and cornerback Caleb Farley have agreed to a four-year rookie contract worth $13.495M fully guaranteed.
A highly-touted prospect entering April s draft, Farley s stock took a bit of a hit after the 22-year-old underwent back surgery in March, causing him to miss his pro day.
Even with the procedure looming, the Virginia Tech product was expected to still be selected in the first round. And while, it wasn t in the top 10 or 15, his slide stopped at No. 22 where the Titans were fortunate enough to nab the talented defender.
Washington to limit rookie minicamp attendance following COVID case Published: May 13, 2021 at 11:53 AM Copied!
There will be no new faces added to Washington s roster coming out of this weekend s rookie minicamp.
The Washington Football Team had one of its rookie tryout players test positive for COVID-19, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. As a result, the three-day camp set to begin Friday will only include its draft picks and players from last year s team who are eligible to participate, Rapoport added.
Fortunately for Washington, it selected 10 players during draft weekend, including four in the first two days. Ron Rivera & Co. opted not to add a quarterback, choosing instead to continue building around the game s most important position. The camp will provide the coaching staff with a first look at linebacker Jamin Davis, who was the No. 19 overall pick.
Around the NFL Jaguars HC Urban Meyer convinced by competitive maniac Tim Tebow s workouts to give it a shot Published: May 11, 2021 at 07:47 PM Grant Gordon Copied!
It s been more than eight years since Tim Tebow last took an NFL snap, but he can still cause a stir or a mania, if you will, like few can.
Just prior to the kickoff of the 2021 NFL Draft, Tebowmania 2.0 began to stir when it was reported the Jacksonville Jaguars and first-year head coach Urban Meyer Tebow s college coach at Florida were flirting with the idea of bringing the 33-year-old in for a shot at playing tight end.
