I don’t know about you, but I was just happy to see the players together on the field. NFL teams aren’t allowed to workout at their facilities due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but the league has said it is still moving forward with 2020 training camps as scheduled.

The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers will be the first two teams to report, with their camps slated to begin on July 22. As it stands now, the 49ers will be among the 28 teams who will begin their camp on July 28.

Positive coronavirus cases are still going up in a number of states across the country, including California. The NFL will surely keep an eye on the numbers before committing to a specific plan to kick-off the 2020 season.

Either way, this is still nice to see. Garoppolo and the gang are showing their commitment to win a championship. Hopefully they will get the opportunity to do so!
