The punishments only get worse from there if they do it again, which will eventually lead to a 4-game suspension and not being paid for it.

Beasley and three other Bills teammates had to be sent home this week because of a close contact situation. We learned on Monday a Bills training staff member tested positive for COVID-19. If those players had been vaccinated, they could still be around the team right now.

In addition to the fines issued on Thursday, another 120 players received written warnings for being observed in violation of the NFL’s COVID-19 safety protocols.
