Multiple reports between Thursday and Friday and provided further insight on NFL players’ statistics regarding COVID-19 vaccinations.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, nearly half of NFL teams have at least 85 percent of their players vaccinated in the 32-club league. In total, reportedly 13 teams have hit that threshold.
That number has increased from just earlier this week as a report on Monday said seven teams reached that number.
But the second stat on another threshold has some debate.
NFL Network added that two teams are below 50 percent in terms of their total number of players vaccinated. That Friday report comes one day after an early Thursday report via The Associated Press that said four teams were in that area.
The AP also provided names. Per their report, the four teams were the Football Team, Colts, Cardinals and Chargers.
The two reports are separated by about 25 hours, so there is a grey area where perhaps two of these teams surpassed 50 percent.
Pelissero’s report also added that 73.8 percent of total players in the NFL had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot.
The number 85 has been the figure watched throughout the summer. That’s because reports have suggested the NFL and NFLPA might agree to loosened team safety protocols regarding COVID-19 for clubs that have reached 85 percent of players vaccinated.
No official agreement has come about in regard to that just yet, though.
