The NFL and its players association reportedly haven't reached an agreement about whether to make face shields mandatory for the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Saturday the league "wants" face shields required but the union prefers to request players test them during training camp before making a final decision.
In May, NFLPA medical director Thom Mayer told ESPN's Adam Schefter the league's engineers had teamed up with sports equipment company Oakley to design and test protective face coverings featuring surgical or N95 material that could be used by players.
