Earlier, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the NFL offered the NFLPA zero preseason games played in 2020, the latest development in the on going negotiations related to players' safety and best interests.
The Falcons also ramped up testing for their staff as report dates for players approach. Rookies are reporting tomorrow, while the rest of the team begins reporting as early as Thursday.
With the NFL and NFLPA potentially at odds over the lack of safety precautions provided by the NFL to this point, players being able to report and test in a safe manner is crucial to the 2020 season being able to occur.
