The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed on the format for a “virtual offseason” during coronavirus stay-home orders Monday, giving teams ways to teach players and monitor their workouts until they’re allowed to return to their facilities.
That will be a long time from now — the league specified that no team is allowed to return to its facility for on-field work until all 32 buildings are cleared to reopen by their local government agencies.
Virtual offseason sessions can start as early as April 20. Teams can use Skype, Zoom or other platforms to teach in a classroom setting.
