Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 23, 2020 6:14 pm

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to hold group workouts at a local high school despite having two players and an assistant coach diagnosed with COVID-19.

Tom Brady was seen practicing Tuesday with Rob Gronkowski, Chris Godwin, Scotty Miller, Jamel Dean, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Mike Edwards, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Griffin and Ryan Jensen.

NFLPA Medical Director, Dr. Thom Mayer said Saturday that players should not \"be engaged in practicing together in private workouts.\"

\"Please be advised that it is our consensus medical opinion that in light of the increase in COVID-19 cases in certain states that no players should be engaged in practicing together in private workouts,\" Mayer said. \"Our goal is to have all players and your families as healthy as possible in the coming months.

\"We are working on the best mitigation procedures at team facilities for both training camps and the upcoming season, and believe that this is in the best interest of all players that we advise against any voluntary joint practices before training camp commences.\"
