The New Orleans Saints have often chosen to meet up with some of their preseason opponents for joint practices after training camp, but they won’t be allowed to do that in 2020; ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that the NFL said as much in a leaguewide memo to its teams.
With the novel coronavirus pandemic still putting stress on America’s health infrastructure, the NFL wants to limit contact between its teams as much as possible. So the Saints and every other team will have to wait a year to share the practice field with one another.
