An unusually high number of positive COVID-19 tests Monday has the NFL and NFLPA considering further changes to the league's COVID protocols as the NFL's regular season enters its final four weeks.
Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the league had 37 positive COVID tests Monday. These numbers tend to be higher on Mondays because that's when most teams test their vaccinated players and personnel (who have to be tested only once a week, unlike unvaccinated players, who test daily). But to put Monday's number into perspective, consider that the league had only 72 positive tests in a two-week stretch from Nov.
