Michigan joins MSU as football players begin reporting with COVID protocols in place

Michigan football players, veterans and freshmen, started reporting to campus Monday to begin preparations for upcoming voluntary workouts, and the university finally released its plan for how it will test student-athletes for COVID-19 and move forward toward the season.

Athletes from the men’s and women’s basketball teams also began returning to campus on Monday if they chose to take part in voluntary strength and conditioning workouts. These are the only three sports currently allowed by the NCAA to take part in voluntary summer workouts.

These are among the initial steps being revealed around the country toward a return to college football since the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to all levels of athletics nationally in mid-March.
