After testing, players will self-quarantine and then return a few days later for another round of testing. Should both test results return negative, the players will be cleared to enter the team facility.
Santa Clara County was reviewing the 49ers' plans and protocols for conducting training camps safely amidst the pandemic, and today approved those plans, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. That means the team can move forward with its plans to prepare for the upcoming season.
"Some local officials believe the example of players wearing masks can have positive impact on the community," adds Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
NFL Network reported on Tuesday that NFL rosters may need to be reduced to 80 players, down from the current maximum of 90. That could mean some difficult decisions for the 49ers before players are even allowed into the building.
Another significant training camp update is the elimination of preseason games in 2020. That means any final roster decisions will be based on eventual training camp practices and evaluations.
