On The Line: Respect the risk athletes are taking

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. -- There's a tentative date for the return of football, and it's coming soon. July 28 is the day most teams, including the Steelers, are scheduled to report to their home facilities for training camp. In just two weeks, the Steelers are scheduled to practice at Heinz Field.

Most NBA teams are back at practice, in an area called "The Bubble" in Orlando, Fla. Baseball teams are back at practice, too, in various parts of the country.

"The Bubble" sounds funny, but it seems necessary for us to be able to get back to the sports we love.
