The league and player association have been in negotiations around the start of training camp, which for most teams is still planned to start on July 28, and how the regular season will work. As part of the negotiations, the NFLPA launched the database to keep its players informed about the virus.
The website breaks down the 14-day average of daily cases per 100,000 people in the city for each NFL team. Currently, Miami has the highest concentration with 67.53 cases per 100,000 people. The New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania area ranks last on the list, with just 3.52 cases per 100,000 people.

Several players, including the Giants’ offensive tackle and union representative Nate Solder, have warned the league that soccer will not be played unless the players feel safe with established safety protocols. Although the NFL is reportedly eliminating two preseason games, there have been no concrete changes to the league schedule yet.
“If the NFL doesn’t do its part to keep players healthy, there is no football in 2020,” Solder tweeted last week.
