On Monday june 8th, the NFL released rules for players to return to work and to team facilities. The NFL broke players down into two groups and even explained how facilities would be cleaned.

On June 13th, 21 states reported spikes in new cases according to the Washington Post. Who listed a few of them.

"Alabama, Oregon and South Carolina are among the states with the biggest increases. Alabama saw a 92 percent change in its seven-day average, while Oregon’s seven-day average was up 83.8 percent and South Carolina’s was up 60.3 percent. Hospitalizations have risen as well. For example, Arkansas has seen a 120.7 percent increase in hospitalizations, from 92 cases to 203, since Memorial Day."

Early June 15th, NBC’s Erin McLaughlin reported "Growing concern as 14 states see 25% spike in coronavirus cases amid reopening."

Shortly after NBC's report, the New York Times reported "Arizona, Texas and Florida are reporting their highest case numbers yet. As of Saturday, coronavirus cases were climbing in 22 states amid reopenings."

Obviously, this is concern for everyone but for the NFL, this could delay or even end the season before it starts. States like Pennsylvania, Washington, North Carolina and Michigan whom host NFL teams were also listed.

According two Shane Mickle of Clutch Points, at least two clubs have had players test positive for the virus as of the morning of June 15th.

Shane reported "Several Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans players have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

None of the players are believed to have been in the teams’ facilities, but as the NFL tries to get ready for a full season, players testing positive is concerning."

According to Ian Rapoport the NFL had already planned for this and is taking action.

"A month ago, NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills said: 'We fully expect that we will have positive cases that arise. … Our challenge is to identify them as quickly as possible and prevent spread to any other participants.' The teams appear to have done that." 

NFL Players just want to get back on the field. With Millions of dollars at stake, many are willing to put themselves and others at risk.

Allen Robinson of the Chicago Bears was reported to of said “I’m not too concerned. I think that if we’re going to be put back in the facility, I think measures are going to be taken.”

The NFL is a billion dollar business and while Roger Goodell has been doing everything to protect the shield from possible lawsuits, he has been animate about the NFL opening on time. As long as players like Robinson don't care, the league may issue waivers and even bring in scabs willing to play.
