Rookies to Report to Camp Today?

[PeterBowman]

Thought I saw rookies are to report to camp today? 

 

Thought that would be pretty big news.....not how we're used to but football is now officially upon us.

Heck I thought it was on Tuesday.  I'm behind as usual.

From what I am hearing from media types and writers, the team is not giving access to the facilities yet. So unless players reach out themselves we are probably not going to be hearing much until practice starts and they resume pressers.  Probably good for the rookies, they can focus on the business at hand.

Yeah, I also heard that on the July 28th when everybody reports there doing testing and then leaving the facility and not coming back until they they test negative.

Rookies in the building. It feels good.

Here is some more. Is that plexiglass between the lockers. Pretty good idea.

Just a thought if all those guys are in the locker room they must of tested negative. Nobody was going to be allowed in until a negative test. So far we see our first 4 picks.

I’m all for precaution but plexiglass in between lockers doesn’t make sense to me.   They are going to be in close proximity in meetings and huddles and on field.  Test them all then sequester them for the season.

From what I have read most meetings are going to be done virtually. I assume the ones that aren’t they will be spaced apart. I know when they go on the road they always have a meeting the night before the game. 

 

I get your point though. Some of it seems a little overboard when it’s such a physical sport. I read a doctor say although some of it seems dumb since they will be pounding each other the more precautions the better because it reduces the viral load. That means less chance someone gets sick. So you try everything you can while not practicing to reduce that load. Who knows if that is true.

The shots aren’t long, but you can clearly see that each individual locker has clear plastic extensions.   So the lockers now appear to be roughly 4 feet deep instead of just perhaps 2 feet deep.  Smart.  Little things like this hopefully will help the team stay healthy.

@Fluke_33.     What are you confused about?

As I stated in a post above having partitions in the locker room seems silly to me.  They will be in very close proximity with each other before and after changing in the locker room.  I am all for taking extra precautions but this one seems like a show for the fans and media

Precisely.
