The NFL has had to change a few things about their training camps this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Yes, the season is set to go on as regularly scheduled. Sure, there are a few changes, like the fact that fans may not be attending, but the games are still set to be played as usual.
However, the NFL offseason has been hit. We experienced an entirely different NFL Draft, one that was totally virtual.
And now we are seeing an NFL offseason with very little interaction. But training camp is set to start on July 21. And at that point, it's going to be hard for the players to really avoid each other all that much.
That being said, they will still be able to keep their distance from the fans. Training camps are going to be a little different for most teams this year as well.
According to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com, the New York Giants will be holding their NFL training camp at MetLife Stadium.
With the need for social distance, the team will be using various parts of the stadium for different things. That includes using suites within the stadium for meetings.
This makes a lot of sense as the suites are big enough that positions can meet in them while still being able to distance themselves from each other.
Groups like the running backs, quarterbacks, receivers, offensive line, defensive line, linebackers, secondary and special teams will all be able to have separate meeting suites. And all those suites will grant them enough room to do so safely.
The Giants seem to have a good plan in place for training camp. This plan could keep the team from suffering any outbreaks of the virus amongst them. That goes a long way in trying to ensure that the regular season actually happens.
