With COVID-19 cases spiking among NFL players, the union is asking all players to halt any private, team workouts held outside team facilities. Here is the statement from NFLPA Medical Director, Dr. Thom Mayer.
He writes: “it is our consensus opinion that in light of the increase in Covid-19 cases in certain states that no players should be engaged in practicing together in private workouts.”
For Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger got together with several teammates last month to throw NFL passes for the first time. Among the group were: Ryan Switzer, James Conner, and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
