Brady and Brees aren't the B words dominating the opening of NFL training camps.
Brady and Brees aren't the B words dominating the opening of NFL training camps.As veterans report Tuesday for COVID-19 testing, with on-field work far on the horizon for now, eyeballs are focused on the pandemic issues in Major League Baseball. The coronavirus outbreak with the Miami Marlins, who won't be playing any games the rest of this week, is foremost in the football world.
Titans coach Mike Vrabel said he is not using the word worried, but "obviously, always very concerned about the health and safety of our players and their family and the coaches and our staff in this building. But until we see how our protocols and our plan that the NFL and the players association worked so hard to put into place, till we see how those are going to function and work, we can't make any changes. We have to to follow the plan.
"We can't control what happens when they go home. We're not going to babysit them and spy on them or anything like that," he said. "They're grownups. We'll just ask them to conduct themselves appropriately to take care of themselves such as they'll be taking care of the whole organization, their teammates specifically, and their coaches. And we've got some good guys on the team I think that can help get that message through to them.
Defensive tackles Star Lotulelei of Buffalo and Kyle Peko of Denver, Eagles receiver Marquise Goodwin, Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Vikings defensive tackle Michael Pierce, and Ravens kick returner De'Anthony Thomas also have opted out.In one of the biggest moves of the day, defensive end Joey Bosa agreed to a contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers that two people familiar with the deal said is worth $135 million over five years.
Whether Cook will choose to take part in practice without a contract extension is unknown. With the first on-field workout not until Aug. 12, there's time for the team and his camp to come to an agreement. Simply showing up on Tuesday was critical for Cook, regardless of what his feelings might be about how the front office is approaching his status and value.
Defensive lineman Ronald Blair, centre Weston Richburg, defensive lineman Jullian Taylor, defensive lineman Kentavius Street and receiver Shawn Poindexter were all placed on the physically unable to perform list as they recover from knee injuries last season. Defensive back D.J. Reed was placed on the non-football injury list after suffering a torn pectoral during the off-season.
