Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians: 'If you want to get back to normal, get vaccinated' for COVID-19

Arians also said the Buccaneers are holding a coronavirus vaccine drive for players and their family members, and he expects to see "a long line" of individuals getting their shots.

"Everybody's tired of meeting out here and eating outside, and doing all those things we had to do last year," he said. "It's still a personal choice, but I don't see a reason not to be vaccinated." 

While the NFL and NFL Players Association have publicly stated players cannot be cut simply for not getting vaccinated, the NFL informed teams last week that assistant coaches and other staff members deemed Tier 1 individuals could be banned from having face-to-face contact with players and also shut out of meeting rooms and kept off of practice fields if they aren't vaccinated by the end of this Friday. 

Multiple Jacksonville Jaguars assistants received their shots after learning of that memo.
