The NFL's chief medical officer notes that daily testing of all players for COVID-19, something the union's president has pushed for, has its strengths and weaknesses. Using the situations for many doctors and nurses as a comparison, Dr. Allen Sills says testing is one component of fighting through the pandemic. We have learned loud and clear that testing is not what keeps us safe, it is not prevention. Nearly 94% of NFL players are vaccinated, and Sills is encouraged by that number — particularly because of how that number has grown since midsummer. The NFL will use multiple forums to get across that message, as it has done and continues to do about getting vaccinated.
