Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott 'concerned' about impact of vaccine status

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott said he is vaccinated but also recognized the topic's divisive potential in the locker room.

McDermott said he "applauds" all those in the Bills' building who have received the COVID-19 vaccine, including general manager Brandon Beane and owners Terry and Kim Pegula. He also said the team is operating at roughly "60%, 65%, 70% normal" thanks to the number of people within the facility who have been vaccinated.

Bills players and staff have held internal conversations regarding the vaccine, but McDermott recognizes that the time to have those conversations is running out.
