Report: NFL Players May Face Fines for Spreading COVID-19 Via Reckless Behavior

The NFL intends to punish those who engage in "reckless" behavior that could spread the coronavirus, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.

The players association explained the plans as part of a two-hour call Thursday, noting those who break rules away from the facility could be subject to fines. This includes eating out at restaurants and taking Ubers.

Per Graziano, players will remain at their homes during training camp instead of hotels.

The NFL decided it will shorten the preseason from four games to two, although players are still expected to report to training camp on July 28, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
