Cheese Curds, 5/19: NFL facilities can begin opening today, Rooney Rule changes coming

Today, NFL teams can begin to reopen their facilities to employees and some players. That was the guidance handed down by commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday, allowing teams to begin a gradual opening starting on Tuesday if it is deemed acceptable by local authorities.

Players are not allowed back in yet, however, unless they are coming in for injury rehab that began before the lockdown started. Neither will coaches be allowed in the building, save for those involved in that rehab, and the league will maintain that stance until all teams are able to open up so that there is no competitive advantage or disadvantage.
