Broncos personnel (besides players and coaches) will wear masks on sideline this season

As the NFL continues to plan a season during the COVID-19 pandemic, the league has revealed several protocols put in place in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

After games, players won’t be allowed to interact with opponents closer than six feet away — and jersey swaps won’t be allowed. While on the sideline during games, Broncos personnel (besides players and coaches) will have to wear masks, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Denver hasn’t announced yet if fans will have to wear masks to attend games but the Steelers have made a decision. If fans are allowed to attend games this year, fans in Pittsburgh will have to wear masks at Heinz Field, the Steelers announced.

The Ravens have announced that no more than 14,000 fans a week will attend games at their stadium this season. The Broncos have not yet announced any capacity limits for Empower Field at Mile High.

If games are played in Denver without fans, season ticket holders will receive refunds or credits for future games at the Broncos’ stadium.
