Brady has now been with the Buccaneers for three months. With the NFL still conducting its offseason in a virtual manner and not holding in-person organized team activities or minicamps, Brady gathered teammates in May for a workout at a local high school. Buccaneers coaches returned to the team’s facility on Monday for the first time since the NFL shut down locations in mid-March.

The Dallas Cowboys are declining comment over reports that “multiple” members of the football team have tested positive for COVID-19.  However, Ezekiel Elliott’s agent has confirmed that the star running back has contracted the virus.

A report from the NFL Network notes, that “none of the players are believed to have been in their team facilities” and that the Cowboys (and the Houston Texans, also reportedly with multiple positives) have followed proper health protocols. Cowboys staffers were recently allowed inside team HQ at The Star but players are not yet officially allowed inside, unless rehabbing.

The United States Tennis Association will hold the U.S. Open this year without fans, even though some top players have expressed concerns about attending the tournament due to the virus, according to multiple reports.

The men’s ATP Tour and the WTA, which runs the women’s circuit, are both expected to approve a plan for the Aug. 31-Sept. 13 event in New York and that a formal announcement is due soon. “We’re following each step in the (restart) procedure in the great hope that we can announce that the 2020 US Open will be played in its regularly scheduled date,” USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said. “We hope to make an announcement in the very near future.”

No professional tennis tournaments have been held since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wimbledon was canceled altogether while the French Open has been moved to September and is due to start one week after the scheduled U.S. Open men’s final.
