Report: NFL to trim back training camp rosters due to COVID-19

According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the NFL is planning to trim back the number of players they bring to training camp later this month.

Traditionally teams have had 90-man training camp rosters but according to Schefter, this number could be slashed to 75 before camp even starts. This would mean 480 guys with NFL dreams will never get a chance to get on the field and make an impression on coaches.

The NFL has already told teams they must hold training camps at their local facilities which for some teams can be problematic in maintaining social distancing and proper protocols to help minimize concerns of the coronavirus.
