The medical director of the NFL players union has recommended that all players stop private workouts together.
Dr. Thom Mayer told members of the NFLPA in a message Saturday that the risk of being struck by the new coronavirus is too great to be staging those workouts.
Mayer said the staff was working on the best mitigation procedures at team facilities for both training camps and the upcoming season and advised "against any voluntary joint practices before training camp commences."
In recent days, members of the Buccaneers, Cowboys, 49ers and Texans organizations tested positive for COVID-19.
