The Miami Dolphins joined a growing list of NFL teams deciding to skip voluntary in-person offseason workouts beginning next week due to COVID-19 and other health and safety reasons.
“Our team came together to discuss the current situation regarding COVID-19 and the lack of clear and timely protocols put into place by the NFL. The most significant fact from that discussion was the health and safety benefits of a fully virtual offseason. Last year, league-wide injury data showed players experienced a 23% reduction in missed time,” the statement said.
“For these reasons, the Miami Dolphins stand in solidarity with players across the league who are making informed decisions to exercise their right to not attend voluntary in-person workouts this offseason.
