The NFL announced Monday evening that it has officially canceled its entire preseason schedule as the league prepares for the start of training camp.

The announcement comes after the league and players reached an agreement late last week on health and safety procedures amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, players have the ability to opt out of the upcoming season due to coronavirus concerns.

Unlike the NBA, MLS and NHL, the NFL currently plans on games in home venues.

This was always kind of a foregone conclusion. We’ll see how it goes. Playing football itself is more dangerous for the players. Yes, there are concerns about coaches and staff, too.

Players will have to count on training camp now to get ready for the season.

This was expected. The normal season is still happening.
