In a normal year, the Tennessee Titans and the rest of the NFL teams bring 90 players to training camp, and then eventually cut the roster down to 53 players ahead of the regular season.
However, this is not a normal year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the NFL continues to take steps in order to help protect its players and stop the spread.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it appears the plan is for NFL teams to carry less than 90 players into training camp, with 75 to 80 players at max being floated as the possible number.
This news comes just days after it was reported that the NFL is going to cut the preseason short by two games.
This kind of limitation on the number of players in camp will be a huge blow to players who are already on the bubble to begin with, which is unfortunate seeing as how it’s already difficult to make an NFL roster.
The Titans signed 14 undrafted free agents following the 2020 NFL Draft, and it’s likely many of those players will be impacted by this.
