NFL players shouldn’t be working out in private groups during the coronavirus pandemic.

Right now, the league is gearing up to start bringing players in for camp and things of that nature. Something tells me that the timeline is going to get bumped back.
If players can’t even participate in private workouts, then how the hell are they supposed to engage in team practices?
That doesn’t seem to add up at all.
I thought we were a couple weeks out from team activities starting and players returning to facilities to start working out.
Clearly, that no longer seems to be the case. At this point in time, I’m not even sure when players can realistically return if private workouts are being taken off the table.
