Some Teams Reportedly Carrying Fewer Than 90 Players Into Training Camp

There is a lot to think about NFL teams as it concerns the 2020 season, and some things apply specifically to football and the nature of their sport and the expansiveness of their rosters. Other major leagues such as baseball and basketball, for example, operate with much smaller rosters, which obviously makes it easier to retain social distancing.

NFL offseason rosters, however, consist of up to 90 players. That is a lot of people to fit in a locker room. And reportedly, there are teams who are considering carrying fewer than that many players into training camp, with this very idea in mind.
