The NFL isn’t mandating players, coaches, or staff members receive the COVID-19 vaccine amid the 2021 offseason. However, the league does expect all football operations staff members to get vaccinated unless they have a “bona fide medical or religious” reason not to.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the league issued a memo to all 32 teams Tuesday stating that if a team employee doesn’t get vaccinated (and doesn’t have the necessary type of excuse to refuse), they will have restricted access inside their respective team’s facility. They will also not be able to work directly with their respective team’s players.
