Redskins won't travel to Richmond this summer for training camp

The Washington Redskins will not head to Richmond this summer.

The NFL has decided its teams Tuesday must hold training camp at team practice facilities this summer due to the coronavirus outbreak, banning them from traveling to an outside location. Since 2013, the Redskins have traveled to Virginia’s state capitol for a two-and-a-half week stretch as part of the team’s training camp.

ESPN first reported the NFL’s decision.

The Redskins’ contract with the city of Richmond to host practices is set to expire later this year. Washington has the option to extend the deal, but it has not said if it will do so.
