Former New England Patriot and college football player Jarvis Green provides information on NFL players who reject the league’s plans to play in the fall and the coronavirus security measures that will be implemented.
NFL fans will be required to wear protective face masks while attending games this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Several NFL teams, including the Cleveland Browns, had already announced individual mandates for the face masks. The league’s 32 franchises are preparing to play with reduced attendance levels this fall.

“For those of you wondering, yes, it is league-wide – fans of NFL games this season will need to wear face covers,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted Wednesday.
The NFL said it would determine which teams could host fans on a case-by-case basis based on guidance from state and local public health officials. Some teams, including the New York Jets, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, are expected to play without crowds.
