Players must all wear face coverings on sideline in Buffalo, San Francisco

If you find yourself on a sideline in Buffalo, New York over the next few months, you’ll be required to wear a face covering on the sideline. While the NFL is “strongly recommending” that players wear face coverings in all cities, it is only “mandated” in Buffalo and San Francisco, per their state and local regulations.
