The NFL and the player's association are nearing a change that will shorten the quarantine time for individuals in COVID-19 protocols from 10 to five days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The change would come just a day after the CDC announced the change in its guidelines. If the NFL were adopting the CDC's exact guidelines, this would specifically pertain to asymptomatic individuals. Meaning, after five days of quarantining an individual can return to football activities even if they are unvaccinated, if they present no symptoms.
The NBA is reportedly shortening its quarantine time from 10 to six days if an individual is asymptomatic, per a Monday ESPN report.
