The players in the National Football League (NFL) must wear face masks on the sidelines unless they have their helmets on and are preparing to enter the game. The league unveiled an enhanced set of COVID-19 protocols.
The NFL also outlined increased safety regulations for play-callers and post-game interactions between players and staff would be limited. Players who failed to comply would be subject to discipline.
Clubs are required to enforce these rules. Violations by players and/or staff will result in accountability measures being imposed upon the club.
The league added that the maximum number of players permitted to travel to road games would be reduced to 62 and access to club facilities would be limited for non-essential personnel.
From Week 13, all members of a team’s traveling party must wear N95 or NK95 masks on team planes and buses.
The new guidance was issued on the same day multiple players were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
