NFL and NFLPA COVID-19 monitoring testing results

The National Football League and NFL Players Association announced the COVID-19 monitoring testing results for August 21– August 29.

During this period, players and Tier 1 and 2 personnel were tested daily. Tier 3 individuals were tested weekly. Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 follow the joint NFL-NFLPA Treatment Protocol. They are immediately isolated, not permitted access club facilities, or have direct contact with players or personnel. Club medical staff are in regular communication with individuals who test positive to monitor symptoms.

Let us all hope NFL picks are not affected by Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel falling victim to positive tests.
