Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Saturday the NFL shouldn't reopen team facilities amid the coronavirus pandemic until all 32 organizations are cleared to resume football activities.

"I prescribe to the approach of competitive fairness within our game, and that is everybody gets an opportunity," Tomlin told reporters. "Our game is extremely competitive.
