After some discourse on Sunday, it looks like the NFL and the players union have agreed to daily testing at the start of training camp per Dan Graziano.
NFL and NFLPA have agreed on testing protocols. They will start with daily testing for the first two weeks, then go to every other day if the positive test rate falls below 5 percent. If it doesn't, they'll keep testing daily.

According to various reports, NFL players will be tested every day for the first two weeks of training camp and it is expected that players will need more than one negative test before first being allowed to enter team facilities.
After two weeks, if the rate of positive tests is below 5 percent, testing will move to every other day.
The NFL has already canceled two of its four preseason weeks, and the players have asked for all preseason games to be canceled this year as they have requested a training camp acclimation period that would limit the first 21 days to strength and conditioning work only, the following 10 days to non-padded practices and then full contact over the final 14 days.
