NFL recommends some sideline players wear masks during games
(AP Photo/David Zalubowski)The NFL is recommending that players on the sidelines who are not participating in a game or about to go on the field wear protective masks. Although the NFL stopped short of mandating masks for all players not on the field, it โstrongly encouragedโ all active players in the bench area who are not about to enter the game to wear masks while standing on the sideline and/or sitting on the bench. While the NFL considers expanding the bench area further down the sideline, teams may consider reconfiguring or adding benches.

Broncos running backs coach tests positive for coronavirus

Broncos coach: virus outbreak shows who the 'whiners are'
โYeah, we compete like hell on Sundays to beat each other, but ultimately weโre all in this thing together,โ Fangio said. The Broncos (1-3) were supposed to host the Chargers that week, and that game was moved up to Nov. 1, which was originally Denverโs bye. So, the Broncos will have had a 17-day break between games and won't get another break all season. The Patriots wouldn't be nearly as inconvenienced, simply having to flip-flop their bye week with their game against Denver. โWhat makes it harder for us compared to baseball is we canโt go and play doubleheaders and we canโt make a nine-inning game and seven-inning game,โ Fangio said.
