The NFL is about to hike the ball on the start of training camps this week, even though a play to face the pandemic has not been called in the huddle.
Players are scheduled to begin reporting to camps as soon as Monday. This while negotiations regarding the details of that process continue to be haggled over by the league and its players’ union.
Executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent sent a memo on Saturday to all 32 general managers and head coaches telling them that full training camps will begin as previously scheduled on July 28 (with the exception of the Chiefs and Texans, who will start several days earlier because they open their regular seasons on a Thursday).
