72 NFL players test positive since July 10

The NFL and NFLPA are still at odds about the plan for players to return to facilities at the end of July, and, according to the NFLPA database, the first round of player testing results for the coronavirus are complete and submitted.

According to the players association, 72 NFL players were known to have tested positive for the coronavirus as of July 10. While the 72 number might seem high, it should be put into context.
