Four NFL teams remain under 50% vaccinated less than two weeks from the start of training camp, a person familiar with the vaccination rates told The Associated Press. 

Washington, Indianapolis, Arizona and the Los Angeles Chargers had the four lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the league as of Thursday, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, because the league hasn't released the numbers. 

Pittsburgh, Miami, Carolina and Denver have the highest vaccination rates and are among ten teams that have achieved at least 85%. 

About 73% of players have been vaccinated. 

Teams on the lower end of the vaccination table face potential competitive disadvantages. 

The NFL doesn't plan to cancel any games this season, the person said.
