Following the CDC news that fully vaccinated individuals don’t need to wear masks in almost all cases, the NFL has announced players, coaches, and staff who are fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks, indoor or outdoor, a policy that will become effective immediately.
The NFL announced the news in a memo moments ago. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared the news.
