Now that more NFL players have opted out of the 2020 season than did men in MLB, the NHL and NBA combined, what about coaches?
People in their 60s, for example, are considered more susceptible to the coronavirus than the general public. Seattle's Pete Carroll is the NFL's oldest head coach — impossible to tell from his boundless enthusiasm and youthful look. Carroll will be 69 next month.
New England's Bill Belichick is 68, Kansas City's Andy Reid is 62 and Denver's Vic Fangio will turn 62 in two weeks. There are dozens of assistant coaches 60 or older.
The Jets' Adam Gase, a member of the coaching kiddie corps at age 42, has addressed the situation of coaches getting sick.
"That's something that we actually started talking about in April," Gase says. "I've looked at it as we almost have a depth chart for myself, the coordinator spots. We talked about position coaches, kind of where that would go. So, a depth chart was really created."
Fangio doesn't believe age is a major factor — nor should be — in being careful during the pandemic.
"I don't think it matters where you are in your coaching career experience-wise," he says. "This is new for everybody. No one has experience in this. I always like to say, 'The great ones can INA,' which means improvise and adjust. We want to be a bunch of great ones here and excel at improvising and adjusting. There's no wiggle room. The protocols are what they are. We've got to abide by them and move past it."
Browns: Wide receiver Jarvis Landry was activated from the physically unable to perform list, clearing the way for him to practice in training camp following offseason hip surgery.
Jaguars: Jacksonville parted ways with five players, including third-year safety Doug Middleton, to reduce their roster to 80. The team also waived running back Tavien Feaster, place-kicker Brandon Wright and offensive linemen Tyler Gauthier and Steven Nielsen. The Jags also placed veteran defensive tackle Rodney Gunter on the non-football illness list.
