Report: NFL to recommend players wear face shields

The National Football League is doing everything possible to make the 2020 season a reality in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

After cancelling the preseason on Wednesday, it was reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo that the league will recommend, but not require players to wear face shields.

The NFL has been working with Oakley to create a mask/shield that can protect players from spreading the virus without restricting them.

How realistic that goal is and whether or not the league will mandate some sort of face shield by the time the season starts remains to be seen.
