NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement
Minicamps
Section 7(b)(iii)Post-Draft Rookie Minicamp
If a veteran player sustains an injury while participating in a Club’s postDraft Rookie Minicamp, he is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable and necessary medical expense incurred as a result of that injury. The determination as to whether or not such expenses are “reasonable and necessary” shall be based on the reasonable opinion of the Club’s Head Team Physician. For the avoidance of doubt, no NFL Player Contract between such injured veteran player and the Club exists as a result of his participation in a post-Draft Rookie Minicamp on a tryout basis, and therefore, such injured veteran player will not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to an NFL Player Contract, including, but not limited to, any benefit pursuant to Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 9 of the NFL Player Contract or to any benefit pursuant to Articles 44 or 45 of this Agreement.
