NFL teams can begin reopening their training facilities next week as part of a phased approach, although the Jets and Giants won’t be permitted to return just yet.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell informed team owners and top club executives Friday evening that facilities shuttered since late March due to the coronavirus pandemic can restart if local and state government regulations allow. In the case of the Jets and Giants, both with practice facilities in New Jersey, state regulations prevent any team personnel from returning.
