With just a couple months until the start of the 2020 NFL season, we still don’t know exactly what it’s going to look like. But with training camp set to begin next Tuesday, we’re getting a clearer look at what that means moving forward.
The NFL and NFLPA agreed to zero preseason games in 2020, which is a blow to late-round draft picks, undrafted free agents and other players looking to make an NFL roster.
As that wasn’t a big blow, NFLPA leadership informed players that rosters will be trimmed from 90 to 80 to start training camp. Which means the Chicago Bears are going to have to cut 10 players by next Tuesday.
In a call with players today, NFLPA leadership said roster sizes are expected to be 80 to start camp, source said. Not a surprise, GMs are working under this assumption.

There are a handful of undrafted free agents and free-agent additions that could get the ax before ever getting to prove themselves on the practice field. General manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy have some tough decisions ahead of them as we approach training camp on Tuesday.
