Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the Raiders were scheduled to hold their training camp in Napa, California. As I talked about in my article yesterday, it made sense ... well, because you know, it’s so damn hot in Las Vegas.
However, the NFL said that due to the pandemic, teams must hold their training camps in their home markets. So, they’ll be practicing at their new facility in Henderson, Nevada.
Here are the latest rules in regards to training camp.
As of now, only 20 players would be allowed in the facility at a time, until the NFLPA signs off on infectious disease emergency response plans for each club. If protocols aren't met, a grievance could follow. But clubs have the right to set reporting dates within CBA rules.

As the tweet mentions, there will be limits on how players are allowed in the facility at once. Players have yet to agree to health and safety protocols for handling the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. If these protocols aren’t met, the NFL Players Association could file a potential grievance.
