Cole Beasley is racking up fines for violating the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols to the tune of almost $100,000, per ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Before that, Beasley had complained on Twitter about the NFLPA’s handling of protocols, saying it wasn’t fair to the unvaccinated, and comparing the vaccine to taking “meds for a leg that isn’t broken.”
Changing the policy so unvaccinated players aren’t paid for missed time would put the NFL in line with the NHL, which doesn’t give game checks to unvaccinated players who miss games in Canada or due to being in protocol. Beasley hadn’t missed any time this season before Sunday, but was placed into protocol as a close contact in August.
His absence is a big one for the Bills, who are down their No. 2 receiver in a huge game against the Patriots. Buffalo came into Sunday needing a win to tie New England at the top of the AFC East.
