Fifty-nine NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19 at some stage during the pandemic, according to the NFL Players Association.

The NFLPA had originally stated that 95 players had tested positive but then an update later on Tuesday revealed the number was 59.

The NFLPA cleared up the confusion by stating that the previous number included was all known positives across the league, including staff, and that it has now been updated to include only players.

Last week, the union reported that 72 players had tested positive since July 10th, while the NFLPA and the league have agreed to daily coronavirus testing for all players during the first two weeks of camp.

Some players have already expressed concerns about the lack of safety protocols in place with the players union wanting the best testing to ensure the safety of their players.
