LOS ANGELES: The NFL’s players union said on Friday (Saturday in Manila) attitudes towards coronavirus health protocols must change for pre-season training camps to be held safely. In a conference call with reporters, the NFL Players Association said the union had so far failed to reach agreement with the National Football League over preparations for the upcoming season. “The doctors last night said, with a couple of reservations, that it was safe to open training camp,” Smith said. The union wants players tested daily; the NFL is planning to test players every other day. “We believe daily testing is part of how to maximize our chances of finishing the season,” Smith said.
