The Patriots released Cam Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP, in a surprise move to pave the way for rookie quarterback Mac Jones. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that, but he’s never had COVID. “Well, Josh Allen’s never had (COVID),” Meyer said. Allen, who is not vaccinated, was activated from the COVID-19 list Monday.
Meyer pointed to defensive end Josh Allen missing one week because of protocols. The NFL hasn’t mandated COVID-19 vaccines but has incorporated strict protocols for players who aren’t fully vaccinated. We want to keep our players, staff and families safe as we comply with protocols related to both health and safety and competition on game days.” We educate our players and respect personal decisions as it pertains to the vaccine. “Ultimately, decisions are based on a player’s ability to help the Jaguars win. “We have vaccinated and unvaccinated players on our roster, and no player was released because of their vaccination status. “Availability is one of the many factors taken into account when making roster decisions,” the team said.
The Jaguars attempted to clarify Meyer’s comments Wednesday with a statement. That was part of the production, let’s start talking about this and also, ‘Is he vaccinated or not?’ Can I say that that was a decision-maker? It was certainly in consideration.” NFLPA spokesman George Atallah confirmed the union’s action in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday night, hours after Meyer told reporters: “Everyone was considered. The NFL Players Association has launched an investigation following Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer’s admission that vaccination status factored into the team’s roster decisions.
