NFL owners will meet through a video conference Thursday, according to USA TODAY’s Mike Jones. Topics on the agenda will include the league’s social justice programs and plans for the 2020 season.
“There will be a discussion on 2020 season planning, including training camp,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted Wednesday. “Should be interesting.”
The league announced Thursday that the 2020 Hall of Fame Game, scheduled for Aug. 6, has been canceled. The ceremony for the Hall of Fame class has also been pushed back to 2021.
With no Hall of Fame Game, preseason games are now set to begin on Aug. 13. The Broncos’ first preseason game is set for Aug. 15 against the 49ers. As of now, Denver’s players are expected to report for training camp on July 28.
The league’s meeting today could potentially change that timeline. If training camps and preseason games go ahead as scheduled, the NFL will undoubtedly have protocols in place in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19.
