The NFL no longer has the luxury of time

The big picture: The clock has now run out — and on the eve of training camp, it’s still remarkably unclear what the preseason and regular season will look like, particularly in regards to health and safety.

Driving the news: In a coordinated Twitter blitz on Sunday, NFL stars used the hashtag #WeWantToPlay to express their concern — publicly — about the lack of detailed health and safety protocols as rookies begin arriving at camp.

Russell Wilson: “I am concerned. My wife is pregnant. NFL training camp is about to start. And there’s still no clear plan on player health & family safety. We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones.”

J.J. Watt tweeted a list of what players do and don’t know. “We still do not know if there will be daily testing,” he wrote. “We still do not know if there will be preseason games … We still do not know how a positive COVID test will be handled in regards to others in close contact.”
