Rutgers football began spring practice on Tuesday after having delayed the start three weeks due to “spike in positive tests for COVID-19” following a return from spring break. Head coach Greg Schiano spoke to the media about the delay and the benefit of taking time to resume activities.
“Our medical people are phenomenal. When that happens, you need to do the responsible thing and our doctors and our trainers were awesome. We navigated through as well as we could,” Schiano said. “Pushed spring practice back for a couple of reasons. One, it’s really, really important. We already missed our first year.
