Training Camps Begin as Scheduled Today

A statement released by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirms the agreement between NFL club owners and the NFL Players Association regarding health and safety issues, pay and other considerations players were concerned about as they prepared to report to training camp.

While teams allowed rookies to report early, the statement will approve all players to report to their teams' training camps as scheduled, starting today, July 28.

NFL Commissioner Goodell said: "We have worked collaboratively to develop a comprehensive set of protocols designed to minimize risk for fans, players and club, and league personnel. These plans have been guided by the medical directors of the NFL and NFLPA and have been reviewed and endorsed by independent medical and public health experts. The season will undoubtedly present new and additional challenges, but we are committed to playing a safe and complete 2020 season, culminating with the Super Bowl."

With the season fast approaching, teams are preparing to play out the season amid the rise of Covid-19 cases, and some team stadiums will allow fans to attend football games.

The NFLPA demands more stringent protocols for players safety and assurance, and if challenges are met throughout the season.

As the rookies begin to arrive at the Raiders camp, players will have to test and receive two consecutive negative results within 72 hours before entering the training facility in Henderson, Nev.

While the Raiders have something in place, we will be looking at how the rest of the NFL teams conduct the players' safety.
