Count New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco among those NFL players who are facing stricter protocols because they are unvaccinated against COVID-19.
Flacco, who will start against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, said he is not vaccinated and doesn't want to cause a distraction for his teammates.
"I definitely have my reasons," Flacco said, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. "Honestly, I probably like to talk about this topic more than anybody. It's one of those things that you debate with all the time. But overall I've felt like it's more of a distraction than anything.
