The NFLPA says 56 NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19 since training camps opened July 21, as of data updated Wednesday.

Players and coaches are tested every day for the first two weeks of training camp as part of a deal the union struck with the league regarding safety protocol. A determination on how often players will be tested will be made after that period.

The 56 players represent about 2 percent of players currently on rosters. Teams are allowed to have up to 80 players on their camp roster.
