Report: Chiefs await guidance from NFL ahead of training camp rookie report date

The rookie report date is quickly approaching and the NFL hasn’t provided necessary clarity for the Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are still awaiting the go-ahead from the NFL to proceed as planned with their rookie report date for training camp according to a new report.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Chiefs rookies are scheduled to show up to training camp on Saturday, July 18. According to the protocols set forth by the NFL, players must take and pass COVID-19 tests 48 hours prior to their arrival at training camp. Schefter says the NFL hasn’t yet cleared players to return to team training facilities just days before their supposed arrival.

This obviously raises the question as to whether Chiefs’ rookies will be arriving at camp as scheduled.

Rookies and injured players typically report to training camp ahead of veterans to get acclimated before everyone arrives for camp. Obviously, things are a little different this season. There are still protocols and conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic being finalized between the league and the NFLPA.

Ultimately, there is some buffer time for training camp with the potential for canceled preseason games. Kansas City will still need adequate ramp-up time ahead of any games, preseason or regular season, in order for players to get their bodies prepared for the rigors of football. For now, the Chiefs, like the other 31 teams, anxiously await direction from the league.

Rookies, select NFL players may report to training camps before July 28

The NFL has informed teams that rookies and “select players” may report to training camps before the league-wide start date of July 28.

The National Football League has announced it has informed teams that training camps are set to open as scheduled this year with most kicking off on July 28.

Rookies and other “select players,” however, may be allowed to report a few days earlier if the clubs deem prudent. Panthers coach Matt Rhule had said last week the league had informed teams they could bring rookies in on July 21 and quarterbacks on July 23.

The owners and league officials participated in a conference call last Thursday and discussed how to best proceed with reopening in light of the rise of COVID-19 cases around the nation.

League executive vice president and general counsel Jeff Pash was the one to convey the news.

After the meeting, NFL Commission Roger Goodell also informed reporters the league’s focus is to “get ready for games at our stadiums and to engage our fans both in stadiums and through our media partners.”

But with many states seeing the number of positive coronavirus tests increasing at an alarming rate, the league might have to walk back on its aggressive plan to start camps on time, after all.

Report: NFL players ‘will arrive on time’ on July 28; Cowboys, too?

NFL insider Ian Rapoport says the start date likely means a shortened preseason and no early pre-camp work, which may affect the Cowboys.

A 2020 NFL season is still not a certainty. But it appears set to take a sizable step toward becoming more likely. According to league insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, players will report to their team facilities on Tuesday, July 28.

This date would technically be an on-time start for most clubs’ training camps, but would eliminate the possibility of any early pre-camp work for rookies and others. Rapoport points out that, given the lack of access players have had to their facilities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be a “ramp-up period” required after the start date and will likely necessitate an abbreviated preseason.

The Cowboys, by virtue of having a first-year head coach, would typically be allowed a one-week head start at camp under normal circumstances. As Rapoport notes, though, some teams are moving forward under the assumption that there will be no early reporting for anyone this offseason.

Even with a July 28 start for all 32 NFL organizations, the Cowboys and Steelers may ultimately feel the impact of a shortened preseason before the other clubs. Dallas and Pittsburgh are scheduled to meet in the annual Hall of Fame Game, the traditional kickoff to the preseason’s slate of games. The game is slated to be played in Canton, Ohio on August 6, just nine days after players will have reported.

Ohio’s governor has already cast considerable doubt on the game being open to fans. Other options for the exhibition may include hosting the game and coinciding Hall of Fame induction ceremonies at a later date, or even canceling the game outright.

The league’s 32 teams were informed by the league earlier this week that they must formulate and submit response plans complete with detailed protocols and personnel “tiers” that will dictate who can go where at team facilities, including places like the locker room, training room, sidelines, and practice fields. Those plans are to be turned into the league “seven days before the first mandatory reporting date for players for the 2020 NFL season.”

It now appears that the first mandatory reporting date is July 28.

The NFL will host a video conference meeting with team owners on Thursday to address a number of topics. Training camp and 2020 season planning are among the items on the agenda.
