San Francisco, Bourne Cleared Of Potential Violations

The San Francisco 49ers and receiver Kendrick Bourne have been cleared of potential violations of the NFL’s Covid-19 protocols, one week after an investigation was opened, according to media reports Wednesday.

The probe began after Bourne tested positive for the coronavirus and the 49ers had to shut down their facilities before Thursday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The league looked into whether Bourne had been wearing his face covering properly and often enough.
