The NFL is facing its biggest COVID-19 outbreak of the season as more than 75 players have tested positive this week, including Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and his former teammate, Los Angeles Rams receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Although nearly all NFL players are vaccinated, seven teams have been forced into enhanced protocols that were established earlier this season.
NFL testing data shared via the daily transaction log showed a single-day record 37 positive tests on Monday and the two-day total hit 75 on Tuesday. By comparison, the league said 110 positive tests were recorded from September 5 through November 27.
With many teams facing labor shortages on the field, the NFL is considering altering league health and safety protocol to allow vaccinated, asymptomatic players to return sooner, according to the Washington Post. Currently, infected players are required to be away from the team for 10 days or pass two COVID-19 screenings taken 24 hours apart.

Yes! Quietly stop the testing. Problem goes away.
Wait til the heart attacks kick in.
What was the over/under on this?
The joke in all of this is they allowed Anthony Davis of the Lakers, who was clearly ill but tested negative for COVID-19, to play in a game. He very likely exposed several players and others to whatever he was fighting off. The league protocols for COVID are highly flawed.
yeah but you miserable 6yrs got to eat your lunch out in the cold on buckets....
Frankly, I ain’t buying it. Just more hype to further “The Plan”.
Most of them only run for short bursts.
Expect Xoe Buy-DUNG to declare victory over COVID at his first (and G-d willing, only) SOTU address.
Just the FauxiMengeleGATES plan.
Bartender!
Another clot shot round for the whole house.
Better make it em doubles.
At least 234,269,053 people or 71% of the population have received at least one dose. Are you expecting 234,269,053 heart attacks soon LMAO..
The rules will change. The omicron variant is much more contagious and is spreading quickly. While the illness is almost always mild, the numbers of positive COVID tests will skyrocket. Under the current rules the teams will not be able to field credible teams for the playoffs and Super Bowl. Immense amounts of money will be lost. It will be amusing to watch the hyper woke NFL scramble and squirm.
It CAN’T be the vaxxine??????????
Not only isn’t it “protecting them from COVID, it is GIVING THEM COVID!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Well i was hoping Mandate CEO’s would die off causing a capitulation on vaccine mandates but having the NFL die off would be not as good but i’ll take it. Can we do the same in DC. hope so.
Obviously if the NFL had a 100% vax rate, they would be blaming the people around them at aren't vaccinated.
There are a lot of parallels with gun control here. NYC bans guns and then blames the surrounding state for the influx of guns. NY bans guns then blames the states around them for the influx of guns. The US Bans guns and then blames the countries around them for the influx of guns.
The left always has an out with their bullshit theories.
Just wait until they start stroking out on the field their 3rd year.>>> but maybe they are not really vaxxed. Like pelosi and biden are probably not really vaxxed.
How many adverse effects and deaths, from these hazardous $hots, are acceptable to you, $hot $hill?
Oh, that’s right....these deaths are ‘nothingburgers’, to you.
Not surprising since you’re the one who hopes unjabbed FReepers “miss out on many jobs, many countries and many holiday places”.
Yeah...go ahead and LYAO, sick, twisted “vax” troll.
