The National Football League has now confirmed the training camp start dates for all 32 teams despite the rising level of coronavirus cases around the country.
The Seahawks’ full roster will report on July 28, with rookies, quarterbacks and injured players allowed to arrive earlier.
In a memo sent to all clubs Saturday morning, the NFL issued the following statement, via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero.
“At yesterday’s League meeting, the membership was advised that under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the reporting dates for training camps this year are as follows:
- Rookies – July 21
- Quarterbacks and injured players – July 23
- All other players – July 28
The dates are applicable for all clubs other than Houston and Kansas City.”

The Texans’ and Chiefs’ rookies are set to report on Monday, as Houston and Kansas City are scheduled to square off in the season opener on Thursday, Sept. 10.
“As of now, only 20 players would be allowed in the facility at a time, until the NFLPA signs off on infectious disease emergency response plans for each club,” Pelissero tweeted. “If protocols aren’t met, a grievance could follow. But clubs have the right to set reporting dates within CBA rules.”
