That is true. The average incubation period is about a week. Which means a negative PCR test result probably doesn’t include that person’s last week of possible exposure giving some people a false sense of security.

But, the NFL players aren’t in a bubble. So any of the players could test negative during the incubation period and introduce the virus to the team at any time during the season.
