NFL Teams Likely To Bring Fewer Players To Training Camp
4 years agoIn an effort to fight the spread of COVID-19, NFL teams are likely to bring fewer than the regular 90 players they typically bring to training camp in late July, according to league sources. One source is predicting that teams will bring around 80 players, and another source is saying 75, but nobody is expecting 90. There are also increasing questions from league sources about whether training camp will start on time with the number of coronavirus cases around the country spiking. The league is already proposing a reduction from four preseason games to two, but the players union might want zero games in this unusual offseason. Smaller training camp rosters would hurt the younger players looking to make the final roster the most.
