Less than one month before the NFL season kicks off, the Atlanta Falcons have become the first fully vaccinated NFL team.
ESPN reports the Falcons have also offered vaccinations to the community, offering vaccines as its preseason game this past Friday. Vaccinations have also been available at the team’s practice at Mercedez-Benz Stadium.
The Falcons were one of two teams to have a COVID-19 outbreak this preseason.
“They are very subjective terms, right? So, you guys are out here at practice every day,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said after the comments. “We went through an outbreak last year when I was in Tennessee. Completely different time and there wasn’t vaccinations. We were in a completely different environment right now. I’m not going to go into any comments, but it’s pretty obvious, you guys come out here every day for work. You would know.
“So I’ll leave it at that. I’m not going to get caught in some political what-about game, this or that.”
The fully vaccinated Falcons will take on the Miami Dolphins in the preseason this week before their season starts on September 12 at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
