New Orleans Saints veterans reported to the team practice facility for COVID-19 testing on Tuesday, with rookie players having made the trip on Monday and now waiting on their results. The public health crisis has played havoc on the NFL’s offseason calendar, and it’ll continue to impact training camp as we approach the regular season.
Some players have chosen to opt out; one of them is Saints tight end Cole Wick, who returned from the 2019 practice squad but chose to pass on the 2020 season, citing asthma and heightened health risk. While none of his teammates have yet joined him in opting out, it’s very much a fluid situation.
