NFL teams had to modify in-person organized team activities this spring, replacing them with online meetings and workouts due to COVID-19.
Teams have been slowly re-opening their headquarters, though, and there’s a new report that head coaches might return to facilities as early as next week.
“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,” according to a report from Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports.
That sounds like a promising step toward NFL teams being able to hold training camps on time in late July but NFLPA president JC Tretter poured some cold water on Robinson’s reporting.
“There is a hard stop date for our offseason program on June 26th,” Tretter tweeted Robinson on Tuesday. “Your source not knowing that and saying June 27th is an option to return should show everyone that this source’s info is questionable.”
The Broncos are still hoping to start training camp on time and the NFL has said that it is aiming to start the regular season on time as well.
