Heres one that doesnt, as used to FOXs Kenny Albert: Anyone can be found in from a foreign nation must quarantine for 2 weeks.

Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports that the NFL will not allow Albert to call Sundays Bears-Lions video game, since Albert has actually been operating in Edmonton, calling NHL playoff games for NBC.

The guideline makes good sense in theory, but not in application to Albert. Hes remained in Canada, where the virus is under far better control than it remains in the U.S. Albert likewise sends to multiple weekly COVID-19 tests.

The NFL has actually created plenty of rules and protocols for the pandemic. Some make good sense. Some do not.
