NFL facilities around the country have begun to slowly open their doors, must it’s been mostly operational staff who have been allowed to return. A new report now indicates that head coaches could also be allowed back inside the buildings as soon as next week.
“The sources told Yahoo Sports that if coaches resume their in-house work next week, minicamps including players could be scheduled as early as June 15 or as late as June 27, depending on COVID-19 data and whether a handful of franchises get a “go ahead” signal from state governments to resume full operations,” writes Yahoo Sports columnist, Charles Robinson.
Robinson notes that California Governor Gavin Newsom’s actions could be the “key hurdle” to teams opening up around the nation.
“If California is open for [team] operations soon, minicamps can still happen in June – probably late June, I’d think – but maybe even mid-June,” Robinson continues, citing yet another league source.
But with COVID-19 cases around the country starting to climb once again, the NFL may be hesitant to resume full operations too quickly.
