Titans’ Taylor Lewan suggests how NFL can allow players to see their families

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan has some advice for the NFL when it comes to allowing players to see their families during the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Lewan, who has his own family, took to Twitter on Saturday night to address how players can still be with their families, while also keeping them safe.

Each team quarantined to a hotel camp style.

Families can have visitations once a month/weekly/bi-weekly. A “family day”. Family members will be tested and allowed in once the test comes back negative.@NFL

It 6 months, it would be hard. But people sacrifice way more for way less. We can’t complain about the circumstances, everyone is suffering but we can figure out a way to make it happen. We still get to play a game that we love for people who love it. THOUGHTS? @NFL

They don’t get to have the same benefits we do. We sacrifice our body’s every year. But we can do more this year by giving people the game. This isn’t about politics it’s about doing what’s right. @NFL

In recent days, it has been reported that some of the precautions the NFL will take includes prohibiting jersey swaps at the end of games and forcing everyone but players and coaches to wear a mask on the sideline.

The former particularly doesn’t make much sense, as players will be banging bodies for 60 minutes, yet can’t meet after the game to exchange jerseys, which has become a common occurrence in today’s NFL.

The league is also planning on limiting the preseason to just two games, a proposal that has been met with some opposition from the players, who want to cancel the preseason slate entirely.
