The Buffalo Bills were in the headlines during most of the offseason because of the stance of some players about not taking the COVID-19 vaccine. With less than three weeks to go before the regular season starts, the team is receiving media attention because of the pandemic protocols once again.
After a trainer tested positive for COVID-19, several Bills players who had close contact with him have been kept away from the facilities because of the NFL protocols in place for the 2021 season. Incidentally, all those players tested negative, but they still have to stay away from the facilities, as none of them are vaccinated.
The fact that so many key players are missing practice time isn't sitting well with some people. Rachel Bush, the wife of Bills' safety Jordan Poyer, is one of them.

Who is Rachel Bush?
Bush is a successful 23-year-old model. She graduated from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) two years ago. She grew up a big social media following during her college days, and started to monetize the reach of her Instagram account.
Like many relationships today, Bush and Poyer's began when Bush, a freshman at FAU, followed the NFL player on Instagram when he was playing for the Cleveland Browns. After learning of her pregnancy, the two married in 2018, a little more than a year after the birth of their daughter, Aliyah
Rachel has more than one million followers on Instagram. and her political views lean to the right.
Is Jordan Poyer vaccinated?
Even though Jordan Poyer is not away from the facility like Cole Beasley or Gabriel Davis, it seems the Buffalo Bills safety is another player who has thus far refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
The safety has made a number of statements contrary to immunizations in April and May. The Bills have a lot of key players who have been vocal about not wanting to get vaccinated.
Cole Beasley went on a rant on Twitter; Isaiah McKenzie opened up after getting flagged by the league, and Josh Allen used the worst possible answer when asked about whether he was vaccinated or not, saying that 'it's a personal matter'.
Even if Poyer is keeping himself quiet and focused on the season as of now, his wife isn't afraid to speak her mind on the issue, saying that 'she's not anti-vax or pro-vax, but she's pro-choice'. If he's, in fact, unvaccinated, Poyer is subject to the COVID-19 protocols from last season.
