Eagles won’t be allowed to hold joint practices during training camp and preseason

The NFL is currently full steam ahead with their plans to successfully start the 2020 regular season on time and the league has taken steps to mitigate any potential risk to the coronavirus.

The league announced that teams will have to stay at their team facilities for training camps this summer because of the coronavirus.

Shortly after the league announced further steps to avoid risk, canceling the tradition of joint practices, a staple around the NFL the last few seasons.

Club personnel are taking the steps to return to team facilities and the league has hopes of allowing teams to hold mid-June minicamps.

The Eagles have held joint practices with the Ravens and Patriots in recent years and the work gave a great assessment of how they’d stack up during the regular season.

Even without the minicamps, the NFL is scheduled to start 2020 training camps at the end of July.
