Navy football resumes football activities after coronavirus issues caused postponement of last two games

Navy athletics announced that the football team resumed activities on Friday, more than a week after pausing them because of a coronavirus outbreak that postponed the team’s games against Tulsa and Memphis.

In a tweet, Navy athletics said there were no more positive tests on Wednesday and Friday. American Athletic Conference protocol calls for teams to be tested three times per week.

Navy athletics spokesman Scott Strasemeier confirmed to The Capital the team had a socially-distanced walkthrough today and will have another tomorrow before an off day Sunday. Navy will then have a padded practice Monday, if they choose.
