Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley may have likely put their entire team at risk with their latest actions.
Late Friday night, a New York DJ allegedly uploaded footage to his Instagram story of the New York Giants QB and RB not wearing masks, not socially distancing, and possibly breaking multiple COVID-19 rules by partying at a club.
We say this is all alleged to have have happened because soon Twitter users would state that this footage actually happened last year.

Earlier this month, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to all 32 clubs regarding COVID-19 protocol compliance, and in it introduced new measures for increased safety and repercussions if they are not followed.
“Protocol violations that result in virus spread requiring adjustments to the schedule or otherwise impacting other teams will result in additional financial and competitive discipline, including the adjustment or loss of draft choices or even the forfeit of a game,” Goodell stated in the Monday memo, obtained by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“In the prior weeks, the league focused on adherence to the league’s protective personal equipment and social distancing policies, threatening fines and forfeiture of draft picks for repeat offenders after multiple coaches had been seen failing to wear proper facial coverings on the sidelines during games. The threat of forfeiture, though, is a step up in seriousness.”
The league banned gatherings outside of the club facility, limiting the number of tryouts permitted per week and implementing a league-wide video monitoring system to ensure compliance.
“The consequences of rescheduling or even missing games are obvious. Our fans will be deprived of games. Competitive inequities will be introduced into our season. Players will not be paid for games not played and clubs will similarly suffer financial consequences.”
The New York Giants played the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night, so they don’t play again until next month when they face the Tampa Bay Bucs.
UPDATE:
Even the DJ commented and confirmed that the video was old:
However, others are pointing out that the video has rookie Giants players on the team, so it couldn’t possibly be from last year:
