In a memo obtained by The Associated Press on Friday, the league’s management council also suggested the 32 teams enhance physical distancing on the sidelines while the NFL considers expanding the bench area.
Citing a player who tested positive two days after playing in a game and who had close contacts with 17 teammates and two team staffers _ most of which occurred while the player was standing on the sideline _ “we are strongly recommending that clubs continue to implement measures to encourage physical distancing among players and staff on the sidelines during games,” the memo said.
“It’s really a look at how we can expand that physical distancing on the sideline … the distancing and face masking are critical,” said Dawn Aponte, the NFL’s chief football administrative officer. “Every week we are learning something and trying to share best practices … with our clubs.” “We do try to remain in constant communication with the clubs through memos, phone calls, conference calls, one-offs, trying to remind and educate,” Aponte said. “Everyone needs to lead by example. It is more so about trying to educate and get everyone to adhere to the face-covering protocol.”
