The NFL Combine is lifting bubble restrictions shortly after the news that player agents were organizing a boycott.
A year after its full cancellation, the NFL combine is returning this year but the National Invitational Camp planned to implement several COVID-19 protocols, including a “bubble.” Per a memo acquired by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the players would have been restricted to “secure Combine venues” during their entire time in Indianapolis and players could only invite one medical support person, like a trainer, to help them during the combine. Players who violated the policy would be disqualified and sent home.
