INDIANAPOLIS — In the third year of the NFL players union’s workplace survey, the severity of concerns has decreased.

“There are no more major hazards that stand out,” NFL chief strategy officer J.C. Tretter said.

Players did not complain of rats, dirty water or shower bugs as they had in the survey’s first two iterations. But at least five clubs cited bathroom-related conditions on their list of locker-room concerns.

Ongoing plumbing problems plague the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to at least a third of each team’s players.
