The NFL is establishing its plan to reopen team facilities. NFL Network reports Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams to set protocols, including state government consent, club infection response teams and more. Goodell wants all clubs to have the protocols in place by next Friday.
The first phase would involve 50 percent of non-player personnel on any single day, being approved to be at the facility. But state or local regulations could require a lower number. No players would be permitted in the facility except to continue therapy and rehabilitation for injuries.
