NFL teams won't be allowed to create local bubbles during the postseason by mandating that players stay in a hotel, except for the night before a game. This new test also will be used to clear close contacts the day before games and on game day. Starting this week, anyone clearing testing on game day will be able to take part on game days. But anyone testing positive first must clear isolation before being able to play. Someone counted as a high-risk close contact can play if game day is the first day out of the five-day isolation period.
