Report: Rams, Chargers not expected to relocate due to COVID-19 concerns

The San Francisco 49ers were required to find a new home stadium due to county restrictions, but the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers will likely not face similar circumstances.

Los Angeles County will reportedly not match the measures taken by Santa Clara County, which barred contact sports, allowing the Rams and Chargers to play at their respective home stadiums for the extended future, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Santa Clara placed restrictions on contact sports due to COVID-19 concerns, forcing San Francisco to relocate to Arizona.

Settling in Arizona has placed the 49ers in a tough position since the team is not allowed to interact off the field.

#49ers Kyle Shanahan met with 20 players last night and asked them to keep eye on teammates who might be struggling mentally with this Arizona move, notes how the NBA players' had bubble and could interact but 49ers can't because they are only together on zooms and on field
