NFL training camps around the country are slated to begin in just a little over three weeks, yet with the rise of COVID-19 cases nationally, the start of the 2020 season seems more and more in jeopardy.
Conference calls with owners, player representatives and the NFL Players’ Association have happened recently and now it’s the coaches’ turn to learn the details of the protocols required for a safe reopening this summer.
All 32 NFL head coaches will be participating in a conference call Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. PT, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, who was the first to tweet the news.
The NFL has already canceled a number of events in light of the coronavirus pandemic, including the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, enshrinement ceremony and the supplemental draft.
The players’ union and the league still have to come to terms on the number of games to be played in the preseason, with recent reports indicating the exhibition scheduled could be cut in half.
This story is continuing to develop.
