Unprecedented situations call for unprecedented responses, and that is what pretty much every business imaginable has been facing throughout this year thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. The NFL has been the most fortunate of the major sports leagues because their playing period had just ended when the pandemic hit, but now they are getting to the point where they are supposed to be returning to the fields.
Already it seems all but a certainty that there will be no on-field portion of the offseason for the league until the start of the NFL. Now, the league has let it be known that they are planning for a uniform opening for training camps around the league, with teams expected to open their camps 48 days prior to their regular season opener, which is July 28 for 28 teams (or 47 days for the two teams who play on Monday Night Football).
