Matt Judon figures to be a huge part of the New England Patriots’ revitalization after signing a huge contract in free agency.
However, considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is still very much a thing, the Patriots might have to suffer through another season in which the virus could have an impact on the NFL.
The league has already informed teams that unvaccinated players will need to get tested for COVID-19 daily as well as socially distance and wear masks.
Now, they are ramping up the vaccination push by showing they are willing to hurt a team’s record if there happens to be a virus outbreak that causes scheduling issues.
