NFLPA Opposes NFL's COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate Proposal, Seeks Daily Testing
The NFL wants a COVID-19 vaccination mandate in place for the players this season, but the league's players association is against the idea.
NFL general counsel Larry Ferazani revealed as much during a conference call Thursday, per The Athletic.
"We would love to see that mandate go into effect tomorrow," he said while denying claims from Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter that the league didn't ask for such a mandate.
From the NFLPA's perspective, it would prefer no mandate but a return to daily testing instead of the current system that sees vaccinated players tested every two weeks and unvaccinated players tested daily.
