Players will receive daily COVID-19 tests for first two weeks of camp
NFL players will be tested every day for the first two weeks of training camp, Dr. Allen Sills, the league's chief medical officer, said in a conference call, and it is expected that players will need more than one negative test before first being allowed to enter team facilities.
At the two-week mark, the rate of positive tests for those tested -- players, coaches and staff who are in close contact with the football team -- will be examined and if the rate of positive tests is below five percent, testing will move to every other day. Training camp is set to begin for the entire league July 28.
The NFLPA and league agreed to these protocols Monday.
"Our union has been pushing for the strongest testing, tracing and treatment protocols to keep our players safe," an NFLPA statement on COVID-19 testing procedures read. "The testing protocols we agreed to are one critical factor that will help us return to work safely and gives us the best chance to play and finish the season."
