NFL implements enhanced protocols for teams exposed to COVID-19
The NFL implemented a series of enhanced protocols Thursday for teams to follow after exposure to the COVID-19 virus, as it navigates an outbreak among the Tennessee Titans and potential transmission to the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, who have not yet returned a positive test result after playing the Titans last Sunday, used the protocols after reopening their facility and practicing Thursday. The enhanced protocols include two daily tests; one is the traditional PCR (nasal swab) test and the other is a POC (point of care) test that returns faster results. All Tier 1 and Tier 2 employees must test negative on the POC test before entering the facility. PPE and face masks must also be worn by all players and coaches on the practice field and gloves must be worn by everyone except quarterbacks on their throwing hand. All meetings must be virtual and there will also be daily deep cleanings of the facility. The protocols also include a prohibition on team or player gatherings away from the facility.

Denver Broncos sign Mike Purcell to 3-year extension
When John Elway told Vic Fangio in March 2019 that the team was signing defensive tackle Mike Purcell, the Denver Broncos coach chuckled and said, "Be careful, you might like him." Almost 19 months and 17 games later, Purcell signed a three-year contract extension with the Broncos. Team sources said the deal is worth just under $15 million. Purcell had spent four seasons with the 49ers, including two on their practice squad and two when Fangio was the team's defensive coordinator. Fangio was also the Bears' defensive coordinator in 2017, when Purcell was briefly on their practice squad.
