Joe Cardona: NFL players have a ‘duty to keep teammates, coaches, support staff, and fans safe and healthy’

The NFL informed its clubs about updated Coronavirus protocols last week, and the announcement kicked off a tsunami of reactions. Not all of them were positive. Among those to voice his displeasure was New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon.

Judon took to social media to criticize the players union for agreeing to one particular stipulation: under the league’s guidelines jointly agreed to by the NFL and the NFLPA, any time a game gets canceled due to a Covid-19 outbreak neither team’s players will be paid a salary for that particular week.

Now, one of Judon’s teammates has also spoken out about the issue.
