Seahawks players express safety concerns ahead of training camp

NFL players are expected to begin to report to training camps this week, yet the league and the NFLPA have yet to agree on a number of protocols the union believes need to be in place to protect the safety of its players.

A number of NFL players – including Seahawks Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner and Bruce Irvin – took to Twitter Sunday morning to express their concerns using the hashtag #WeWantToPlay. Wilson included the following message in his tweet:

“I am concerned. My wife is pregnant.

NFL Training camp is about to start.. And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety.

 

We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay.”

I am concerned.
My wife is pregnant.@NFL Training camp is about to start..

And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety. 🤷🏾

We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay

This Twitter campaign comes on the eve of the day Texans and Chiefs rookies are scheduled to arrive at camp.

The NFL and the NFLPA are continuing their negotiations today per numerous reports.
