NFL players will still be allowed to use smelling salts during games this season if they bring their own supply. A league memo stated that clubs are prohibited from supplying ammonia in any form, a decision made due to FDA warnings regarding the risks of ammonia inhalants. The NFL Players Association confirmed that the ban only restricts teams from providing these substances, not the players themselves who may choose to use them independently.
"Despite confusion surrounding a league memo sent to clubs on Tuesday, players will still be able to whiff smelling salts during games this season - as long as they bring their own stash."
"To clarify, this policy does not prohibit player use of these substances, but rather it restricts clubs from providing or supplying them in any form."
