NFL: Team Could Forfeit Game If Unvaccinated Players Leads To COVID-19 Outbreaks

The NFL sent a memo to all teams about the new COVID-19 rule update. The memo said, if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week schedule due to a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will forfeit and be credited with a loss. Add to that, players on both teams will not be paid for the lost contest. The team responsible for the cancelled game due to unvaccinated players will cover financial losses and be subject to potential discipline from the Commissioner’s office. More than 78 percent of players league-wide have had at least one shot, and 14 clubs have at least 85 percent of players vaccinated. Pelissero reported that all 32 teams have at least a 50 percent vaccination rate among players. Click Here To Read More.
