The Seattle Seahawks are set to kick off training camp on Tuesday, July 28, and this year’s schedule of events is definitely going to look a bit different for both fans and the players.
Due to extensive coronavirus concerns and per the guidelines agreed to by the NFL and NFLPA, players reporting to the VMAC will first take back to back COVID-19 tests on Tuesday and Wednesday before isolating and returning to take a third test on Friday.
Players will only be able to enter the Seahawks facility once a third negative test has been documented. The league estimates a roughly 24-hour turnaround time for test results. If negative, players will then proceed on to physicals and equipment fitting.

During the initial few days of strict testing, players will be mandated to attend virtual COVID-19 training and education and may participate in administrative and football-related meetings.
Welcome to the new Week 1 of training camp!
