The sports world is continually adjusting to the new realities of the coronavirus pandemic, and the NFL is reportedly turning toward videoconferencing as one way to solve the issue of workout bonuses.

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, the league is trying to create an online process that would allow players with offseason workout bonus clauses in their contracts to earn them even though team facilities are closed and travel restrictions are in place.

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported the NFL wants players to wear heart monitors while working out via videoconference.
