NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a memo to teams on Tuesday that all clubs must hold training camps at their own facilities (opposed to traveling to a different location). The memo makes an exception for teams that are not allowed by local government to hold practices at their facility.
Goodell and the NFL Players Association also announced that there will be no joint practices this summer.
“We believe that each of these steps will enhance our ability to protect the health and safety of players and your football staffs and are consistent with a sound approach to risk management in the current environment,” Goodell said.
The Denver Broncos had hoped to hold joint practices with the Chicago Bears leading up to their Week 2 preseason game. Denver also considered practicing with the Jacksonville Jaguars but that plan was scrapped (Jacksonville isn’t among the Broncos’ preseason opponents).
