While the NFL yesterday issued a memo to teams about the protocols for players to return to team facilities, it evidently did so without the knowledge or consent of the NFLPA, which is certainly not the first time that such a thing like this has happened between these two agencies.
“Some of you have been contacted by your clubs about coming back into the facility to workout, or rehab, citing a memo from the NFL”, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk quotes a memo from the NFLPA. “We write to inform you that we do NOT have an agreement to allow additional players to come back into the facilities at this point, and the League’s memo was sent to Clubs without the approval of your union”.
