April 13 (UPI) -- Players for the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't report to their respective practice facilities next week to start voluntary off-season workouts, the teams said in statements released through the NFL Players Association on Tuesday.
In their statement, Broncos players cited increasing COVID-19 positivity rates in Denver and surrounding communities, as well as the absence of "adequate protocols in place." According to ESPN, Denver's players voted to skip the voluntary workouts and informed head coach Vic Fangio of their decision Tuesday morning.
