New Orleans,LA – The NFL recently sent out new mouth shields that are suppose to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 among players. The Oakley Mouth Shield is being advocated by the leagues medical officials but aren’t yet mandated. “That’s certainly what we’re going to encourage,

” NFL’s top medical official Dr. Allen Sills said  “And we hope that we’re going to land on a product design that’s something that everyone would want to wear, because they’ll see the value and want that additional protection without any detriment to performance.”

Houston Texans star JJ Watt & Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon have all bulked the idea of wearing the mouth shield. The complaints are more about uncomfortableness rather than anything else. The NFL’s engineer top Jeff Crandall was quoted saying “internal testing of the Oakley masks has seen “a significant blockage to transmission of droplets.”

The coronavirus has brought major changes to life in general across the world and caused according to the CDC 130,000 deaths in just the U.S.
