Detroit Lions coaching staff 100% vaccinated, won't be subject to COVID-19 rules this fall

The Detroit Lions have reached 100% vaccination among their coaching staff.

Head coach Dan Campbell made that revelation Thursday, on the final day of mandatory minicamp.

Two Lions assistants, running backs coach/assistant head coach Duce Staley and receivers coach Antwaan Randle El, have been wearing masks at practice this week. Campbell said both are fully vaccinated, but still are in the 14-day post-vaccination period where they must remain masked.

"Everybody is vaccinated," Campbell said. "So that's all good."

While NFL players have the option of getting vaccinated, NFL Network reported that all coaches and trainers must be vaccinated in order to retain Tier 1 status that allows them to interact in-person with players.
