The NFL reportedly relented on its insistence on playing one preseason game amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the NFL’s latest proposal, the league offered to cut the entire preseason, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. The report follows earlier news that the NFL continued to push for one preseason game on the schedule amid the COVID-19 pandemic.The NFL and the NFL Players Association are still negotiating over COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and the number of preseason games is wrapped up in that battle.
New proposal calls for one preseason gameNFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Monday morning that the NFL’s newest proposal to the NFLPA reportedly includes just one preseason game. That’s less than their previous proposal, which reportedly cut the preseason from four games to two. Those two games would have given each team one home game to test out their COVID-19 protocols.
Players call out NFL on social mediaThe NFL’s newest proposal comes a day after numerous NFL players, including Drew Brees, J.J. Watt, Patrick Mahomes, and Richard Sherman, used social media to criticize the NFL for its lack of safety protocols. Rookies are expected to report Tuesday, and the NFL has yet to set guidelines for how often players will be tested, what teams will do if a player tests positive, and how long the preseason acclimation period will be.
I SECOND THIS! How has the @NFL had this long to prep but still have NO real plan in place? We are less than 10 days before we are REQUIRED to report! I refuse to put my pregnant wife/family at risk w/o understanding exactly what the plan for our safety & well being will be. https://t.co/bepNjRiml0
