The National Football League informed its teams on Thursday that COVID-19 outbreaks among non-vaccinated players during the 2021 season could lead to forfeits and loss of pay if games cannot be rescheduled.
According to a memo sent by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the league has no plans to add a 19th week to the regular 18-week season to accommodate any games that cannot be rescheduled.
"These operating principles are designed to allow us to play a full season in a safe and responsible way and address possible competitive or financial issues fairly." In addition, the team deemed responsible for the canceled game due to unvaccinated players would be required to cover all financial losses and also be subject to potential discipline from Goodell.
