72 NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19 as of last Friday

According to the NFL Players’ Association’s website, 72 NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19 as of last Friday.

The NFLPA’s number one priority for starting the 2020 NFL season is the health of the players it represents. The players union has been keeping a detailed website, tracking all relative coronavirus information, which is also available to the general public.

As of last Friday, 72 players around the league have tested positive for COVID-19, which is roughly 2.5% of the workforce.

The NFLPA website shows the areas where clubs are located across the country relative to the level of the outbreak in that region. The Dolphins, Cardinals, and Jaguars are dead center in three of the hot spots as of now.

With some rookies and select players set to report to training camps as soon as this Saturday, the NFLPA and the NFL are quickly running out of time to finalize all the protocols to ensure a safe reopening for the start of the season.
