Roger Goodell says that even with COVID-19 vaccines now being distributed to hospitals nationwide, NFL players and personnel will not be jumping the lines for vaccination before Super Bowl LV.

"We are not planning on any of our personnel being vaccinated in advance of the Super Bowl," Goodell said.

"That's obviously being done at higher levels and given priority to obviously health care workers, first responders and those that are in the riskiest state. We don't fall into those categories, so we don't anticipate that and we're not planning for that."

Goodell also emphasized that with the event still 55 days away, the league needs to be prepared to "adapt and evolve" with regard to the coronavirus.
