The NFL has taken its first steps toward reopening team facilities that have been shuttered since March 24 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, announcing guidelines for the eventual use of the practice sites.
A set of protocols was released Wednesday evening by the league in a letter from commissioner Roger Goodell to team owners and top executives. According to the memo, a copy of which was obtained by Newsday, teams should have the protocols in place by May 15 in anticipation of when the facilities might formally reopen.
