The NFL today distributed updated COVID protocols to clubs. Perhaps the biggest news?
“To address hydration needs on game day, we have amended the Protocols to allow clubs to hydrate multiple players using the same water bottle to ‘squirt’ water into the players’ mouths.”
It’s not just shared water bottles that are back. So are shared chalk buckets, balms/lotions/gels, etc.
Honorary captains return too — they must be fully vaccinated.
The NFL also reiterates The Rodgers Rule: Individuals who aren’t fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times indoors. “This includes while giving media interviews or participating in media briefings conducted indoors either at the club facility or at the stadium on game day.”
The updated NFL-NFLPA COVID protocols also now require fully vaccinated players and staff to undergo bye week re-entry testing anytime the club has three or more days off.
