NFL players have reported to training camp and completed their COVID-19 intake testing, and the results of that first round of testing are encouraging.
The NFLPA released those results on Thursday morning, and approximately 2 percent of players tested positive for COVID-19.
The NFLPA says 56 players have tested positive for COVID-19 since players began reporting to training camp. That's about 2% of the ~2,600 players on active rosters, and well under a 1% positivity rate in terms of total tests administered. Still very early, but good signs.
