Saquon Barkley seemingly is vaccinated for COVID-19, because he watched Tuesday’s Giants minicamp practice from the cafeteria and interacted with colleagues with no mask on.
Unvaccinated players are required to wear masks in team facilities. Vaccinated players no longer have to. Unvaccinated players also can’t eat in the cafeteria.
For every star like Barkley who seemingly got the shot, however, there are plenty of NFL players league-wide who have not received the vaccine yet, and who may decide not to get it at all.
Washington coach Ron Rivera said this week his player roster is “slowly” approaching a 50% vaccination rate.
