With the holiday weekend on tap and people across the country set to celebrate, reports have emerged that when training camps open later this month team rosters will be smaller than they have been in seasons past. As noted here at Field Gulls earlier in the week, the league has been discussing reducing roster sizes in order to reduce the number of people involved in training camp and reducing the risk of a COVID outbreak that could derail a team or even the season. The likelihood of this being the case has now been confirmed.
In an effort to combat COVID-19, NFL teams are likely to bring fewer than the regular 90 players they ordinarily bring to training camp, per league sources.
