The NFL has given the green light for teams to reopen their facilities on Tuesday May 19, depending on what state and local authorities are allowing in response to the pandemic and with certain strings attached.
The Panthers are in no rush to get back in the building, though.
According to a report by Joe Person at the Athletic, the team does not plan to reopen their facilities tomorrow. He speculates that they may return to work at Bank of America Stadium next month.
Coaches and players – with the exception of those undergoing medical treatment – aren’t allowed back in the facilities yet in any case.
Doing so would offer a competitive advantage for teams operating in states that are opening up as opposed to those still on lockdown. According to Judy Battista, right now only 22 of the league’s 32 teams will be able to open back up under current rules in place.
