That said, Beasley’s absence on Sunday won’t cost him. He’s still going to get his regular game check despite being unvaccinated.
Beasley's Covid-19 absence today won't cost him, though. Under NFL and NFLPA agreement, even unvaccinated players are entitled to their full pay if they miss a game due to Covid-19. Beasley makes $4.7 million in base salary, so he still gets his $261,111 game check.
