NFL teams continue to conduct their offseason programs virtually over Zoom calls with no face-to-face teaching or work allowed. Players aren't even allowed back into team facilities unless they are rehabbing an injury.
The NFL notified teams that the virtual offseason has been extended through June 26, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. That confirms that there will be no on-field work before training camp, which is not a surprise.
While this offseason has been strange, it has had its benefits, according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
"It's been awesome to go through all the cutups (from last season) with the guys," Shanahan told reporters last week, "to be able to just watch game tape with the guys. To be able to have an hour and a half meeting where I only talk about one play. Now, I showed that play 60 different ways, and we go through all the variations of it, but I've never been able to do that.
"Usually I've got to talk about 10 plays in that hour and a half. What sticks when you talk about 10 plays? Not very much. It gets very diluted, so we've kept ours light. We have a lot of fun on it."
