Report: NFL coaches worried about season after players test positive for COVID-19

The most recent coronavirus outbreak in the NFL has left multiple head coaches fearful of the situation.

One unnamed head coach described the situation as "scary," according to ESPN's Ed Werder.

Another coach thinks the league should delay the start of the season, while a third questioned the wisdom of playing during a pandemic, Werder adds.

Players from the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, including star running back Ezekiel Elliott. None of them are reportedly believed to have visited team facilities.

Though OTAs and minicamp were canceled and players aren't allowed to return to facilities yet, the NFL is working under the belief that the regular season will kick off as planned on Sept. 10.

The majority of clubs recently reopened facilities for coaches and a limited amount of personnel. Commissioner Roger Goodell has announced that training camps must be held at main practice facilities and joint practices won't be allowed this offseason.
