NFL chief medical officer pushes back on Aaron Rodgers' claim that some COVID-19 protocols are 'not [View all]
Allen Sills, the NFL's chief medical officer, pushed back on the notion put forth by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that the league's COVID-19 protocols, established in conjunction with the NFL Players Association, are based on anything other than science and data.
“We've been very consistent,” Sills told reporters during a conference call on Wednesday. “First of all, these are things that we decided collectively with the players association (NFLPA). They're always based on science. The science that at best we understand for public health, but also our own data. We are constantly looking at our own data in every way possible, to see where we might still be vulnerable and what parts of our protocols we think are particularly effective. So, we're very comfortable with what we've put in place being driven by our data and is working.”
Sills didn’t mention Rodgers by name but responded to a question from USA TODAY Sports stemming from comments by the Packers quarterback.
Rodgers said during a Nov. 5 appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he didn’t believe the NFL's COVID-19 rules were based on science.
