MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee participated in its first scrimmage on Saturday, and through just over a week of fall camp, things have looked a little different from procedural and equipment standpoints.
Along with new procedures like getting temperature checks before they enter facilities and holding team meetings outdoors, the Blue Raiders are utilizing some new equipment to help keep them safe.
All coaches and staff are wearing masks while at practice and in meetings, and the players are repping new face shields on their facemasks to give them another layer of protection. They also have their own water bottles, and ice tubs have been replaced by several large trash cans so the Raiders can be in their own ice after practice.
