The NFL is planning for voluntary in-person workouts this offseason.
However, the Players Association is recommending players exercise their CBA rights to opt-out of these workouts amid lingering COVID-19 pandemic concerns.
This stalemate has been present for weeks at this point, but in light of the recent situation involving Broncos offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James, the overall tension has grown.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported James suffered a torn Achilles. This injury could wipe out his $10 million 2021 salary because James suffered the injury while working out at a site that wasn’t the team’s facility.
