UNDATED (AP) — The NFL is requiring players, coaches and other team personnel to receive a COVID-19 booster by Dec. 27. In a memo sent to teams yesterday and obtained by The Associated Press, the league said it’s adopting the CDC’s recommendations, “given the increased prevalence of the virus in our communities.” A season-high 36 players were placed on the league’s COVID-19 list yesterday.
