ed against any suspension later
imposed on him.
Washington will also be with-
out defensive end Caleb Brantley,
who opted out of the 2020 season
as a “higher-risk” candidate. Such
an option was afforded to players
in their negotiated modifications
to the collective bargaining agree-
ment. To be deemed higher risk, a
player has to be diagnosed with
one of 15 illnesses that include
sickle cell disease, cancer and hy-
pertension or high blood pressure.
A higher-risk player receives
credit for an accrued season as
well as all benefits and salary cred-
it for a credited season. He is also
eligible for a $350,000 stipend,
and his contract will be tolled.

free agent in 2021. He, like Smith,
still has a window to return, how-
ever. The team can activate him off
the PUP list before the season, or it
can leave him down for at least the
first six weeks of the regular sea-
son.

Latimer placed on exempt list
Wide receiver Cody Latimer
was placed on the commissioner’s
exempt list because of his arrest in
May in a Denver suburb. Latimer
is facing eight charges with four
felonies, including assault with a
deadly weapon.
Per the league’s personal con-
duct policy, players on the exempt
list cannot attend practices or
games but can request permission
from the team to be at its facility
for meetings, individual work-
outs, rehabilitation and “other
permitted non-football activities.”
Latimer’s leave-with-pay will
probably last until the league
comes to a disciplinary decision,
and any regular season or postsea-
son games he misses will be credit-

to repair the fracture and to clear
out a bacterial infection that near-
ly took his life.
After extensive rehab, Smith
said this past December that his
goal was to return to football in
2020.
“This has been obviously a cra-
zy ride with a lot of unforeseen
turns, but without a doubt that’s
still my goal,” he told reporters.
Foster was claimed off waivers
from San Francisco in November
2018 after he was arrested on a
domestic-violence battery charge
that was later dropped. He was
reinstated from the commission-
er’s exempt list in April 2019, but
his return was short-lived. In his
first practice with Washington,
Foster tore both his ACL and later-
al collateral ligament in his knee
and was subsequently placed on
injured reserve.
The team declined Foster’s
fifth-year contract option, and he
is set to become an unrestricted

SMITH FROM D1

Smith still envisions return to football


BY MARK MASKE

The NFL’s chief medical officer
acknowledged Monday that “this
is going to be hard” as the league
attempts to fulfill its long-stated
goal of having an uninterrupted
season amid the novel coronavirus
pandemic.
But as teams prepared to open
their training camps fully and NFL
leaders eyed the MLB outbreak
that raised new doubts about the
ability of professional sports
leagues to operate successfully
outside a bubble environment, Al-
len Sills said he remained hopeful
the league’s health protocols will
enable the NFL to stage its season.
“I’ve said all along that I remain
cautiously optimistic,” Sills said in
a phone interview. “And that’s
where I personally view this. As I
said before, this is going to be
hard. There’s no doubt that this is
going to be a challenging year for
all of us, not just in the NFL but
across all elements of our society.
And football is no exception. So I


think there’s a tremendous
amount of work to do. But I know
that we have put a tremendous
amount of thought and effort and
energy into the protocols and
keeping things as safe as possible.
I know that we’ve got players and
coaches and staff that are very
committed to make it work. And I
know that it’s something that we
all hope very much will show how
we can positively live with this
virus.”
The NFL’s approach is similar
to that of MLB, with plans for
teams to play games in their home
cities and stadiums. That’s why
the outbreak of coronavirus cases
among Miami Marlins players and
coaches, leading to the cancella-
tion of games Monday night in
Miami and Philadelphia, raised
further questions about the NFL’s
ability to make things work.
“I think we’ve said from the
start that this is going to be hard,”
Sills said. “The NFL in 2020 is not
going to look like it has in other
years. The covid-19 outbreak is

going to continue to be a major
challenge to every aspect of Amer-
ican life, and football is no excep-
tion. So we’ve said we expect that
we’ll have positive cases among
our players and personnel and
could even have a number on each
team. And that’s true as long as the
virus remains endemic in society.
New cases will kind of be part of
that reality.
“But what’s important is that
we have protocols in place to iden-
tify these cases as quickly as possi-
ble and then to take the appropri-
ate action once we identify them
to get that individual separated
away from the team environment
and to get them that treatment
and try to prevent an outbreak on
the team. None of that has
changed as the result of this news.
I think it just reflects the fact that
this is going to be challenging for
all of us.”
Sills declined to specify how
many positive cases would lead to
the NFL shutting down a team,
canceling a game or ceasing

leaguewide operations entirely.
He said the league must remain
flexible in its planning, not an-
swering a question directly about
whether it was too late for the NFL
to construct a bubble environ-
ment for teams at one or two sites
as the NBA, NHL and MLS have
done.
“I think the two words that I’ve
told everyone will characterize
our season are flexibility and
adaptability,” Sills said. “We abso-
lutely have to remain flexible
about everything we’re doing,
from the testing cadence to the
treatment response to the setup to
the schedule. Everything, I think,
will have to remain flexible and
adaptable based on what we’re
learning and what we’re seeing in
real time along the way.”
Some players began reporting
to NFL training camps last week.
Veteran players for most teams are
scheduled to report Tuesday.
“Adaptability and flexibility will
be needed for the foreseeable fu-
ture,” NFL Commissioner Roger

Goodell wrote in a letter to fans
that was released Monday by the
league. “After all, even the best
game plan changes as new chal-
lenges arise.” Goodell wrote that
the NFL hopes to have “a healthy
and complete 2020 season.”
A player must test negative
three times after reporting to
camp before even being allowed to
enter a team’s facility on Day 5
after arriving. (That was a late
switch in the protocols, up from
two negative tests.) The league
and the NFL Players Association
agreed to a testing program by
which players will be tested daily
for at least the first two weeks of
training camps. The testing fre-
quency can be adjusted to every
other day after that based on the
rate of positive tests.
A player can be disciplined by a
team if found to have participated
in a high-risk behavior away from
the team’s facility that threatens to
spread the virus. Teams previously
were given treatment procedures
for a positive test, among other

elaborate protocols. Teams plan to
use tracking devices on players
and staff members when they’re in
team facilities, aiding with dis-
tancing measures and contact
tracing.
Yet New England Patriots cor-
nerback Jason McCourty said Sun-
day night on his podcast that he is
“very nervous to think there will
be a season.” The Minnesota Vi-
kings announced Monday that
Eric Sugarman, their head athletic
trainer and vice president of
sports medicine, tested positive
for the coronavirus, along with
family members. He is the team’s
designated infection control offi-
cer.
The NFLPA previously ex-
pressed concern about the propri-
ety of opening training camps in
“hot spot” cities, with cases of the
virus surging in many areas of the
country. That led to a conference
call in which NFL team doctors
told NFLPA representatives they
believed it was safe to open camps.

NFL admits it is ‘going to be hard’ to conduct this season


BY NICKI JHABVALA

When the NFL implemented its
virtual offseason program, Wash-
ington Coach Ron Rivera seemed
undeterred by the unknown. He
had dealt with similar circum-
stances in 2011, when he was
hired to be the Carolina Panthers’
head coach months before a lock-
out. At least this time around, he
figured, he could meet with his
players and assistant coaches in
some capacity.
“Our guys have been great
about it, and the attendance that
we have had on our Zoom meet-
ings has been good, very, very
good,” Rivera said in June. “I am
very pleased with that. It just feels
like our guys are understanding of
what it takes.”
But perhaps not even a month
ago could Rivera fully grasp how
different the start to this season’s
training camp will be from all the
others. When camp officially be-
gins Tuesday, it will not look any-
thing like those of years past be-
cause of the novel coronavirus
pandemic and the team’s recent
rebranding.
Not even close.
Last week, around the time
players and owners signed off on
extensive coronavirus-related
protocols that will significantly
change the look and feel of this
year’s training camp, the fran-
chise renamed itself the Washing-
ton Football Team. Its training
camp will be held in Ashburn
instead of Richmond, where it
was located the past seven sea-
sons, and its practice facility has
been reconfigured for social dis-
tancing and coronavirus testing.
The team’s practice regimen
has been altered to allow for a
slow reintroduction of football —
meaning the first time the players
practice in pads won’t be for at
least another three weeks. And for
the first time in 48 years, players’
jerseys and helmets will not fea-
ture Washington’s longtime logo.
“The hardest part and the
toughest part will be on the play-
ers coming back as far as their
conditioning and preparation for
training camp... more so than
the mental aspects of the game,”
Rivera said last month. “That is
the thing we will be concerned
with when they come back. Obvi-
ously, when we get back we will do
some conditioning just to see
where our guys are. From there,
we will go with our approach.”
Because there was no offseason

workout program or organized
team activities to ease players into
camp, the early portion of camp
this year will serve as a 20-day
ramp-up period. After five days of
coronavirus testing, there will be
two weeks of strength and condi-
tioning, followed by another five
days of limited on-field work be-
fore true practices can begin.
The earliest Washington can
have a padded practice is Aug. 17.
Before then, its roster must be
trimmed to 80 players, down from
the usual offseason limit of 90.
There will be no preseason, no
fans and no joint training camp
practices. After an entirely re-
mote offseason, the challenges for
a team with a new staff and new
system are greater than ever.
“I’ll say the biggest challenge of
this being virtual, you don’t get to
be as intimate as you would be if
you were in person,” quarterback
Dwayne Haskins said in June. “As
far as, you know, asking questions
or pulling a coach aside to talk for
an extra 15 minutes after a meet-
ing, things like that. It’s FaceTime,
it’s Zoom, it’s phone calls, things
of that nature.”
Washington’s rookies, quarter-
backs and injured players report-
ed July 23 for coronavirus testing.
Players must test negative three
times to first enter the facility.
Those who are cleared take their
physicals, and those who pass
their physicals are allowed to
start weight training — while

wearing face coverings and con-
tact-tracing wristbands.
From there, players will be test-
ed daily. If after two weeks the
rate of positive tests for all team
employees is below 5 percent,
tests will be conducted every oth-
er day. If it’s higher than 5 percent,
daily tests will continue.
Washington’s facility under-
went an extensive makeover to
accommodate the protocols and
to continue with a months-long
rebranding process. A trailer that
was previously used as a media
workroom has been converted
into a meeting space. Tents set up
on a turf field will serve as auxilia-
ry spaces, and the indoor practice
bubble, for now, is a team meeting
room.
This past month has doubled
the work of Washington’s equip-
ment staff, which had spent
months sorting, labeling, wash-
ing and packing gear for 2020
before the team announced its
temporary name.
Washington will retain its sig-
nature burgundy and gold, but
little else will remain the same —
on the field and off.
“Nobody could have planned
for this to happen,” second-year
wide receiver Terry McLaurin
said in June. “... It’s been differ-
ent. It’s been an adjustment. But I
feel like in the pros you have to be
able to prepare for everything.
That’s why you’re a pro.”
