The Green Bay Packers began to reopen parts of Lambeau Field on Tuesday, and two days later the National Football League issued a memorandum to teams outlining the next phase of increasing football activity inside facilities, beginning Monday.
Coaches will be among the employees allowed to go back to their offices, and if the league can come to an accord with the NFL Players Association on the return of players, there is hope some part of the offseason program can be salvaged. In a conference call last week, commissioner Roger Goodell said the league will extend the virtual offseason by “at least” two more weeks, pushing the window to the end of June.
