The National Football League and the Players Association agreed Tuesday to cancel the 2020 preseason.

Owners originally wanted to reduce the preseason amid the coronavirus pandemic from four weeks to two, but the players union wanted all of it scrapped.

Meanwhile, the Players Association revealed that 59 players had tested positive for the coronavirus as of Tuesday. 

 

Michael Bennett Retiring

Defensive end Michael Bennett, who won the 2013-14 season Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, announced Tuesday that he's retiring after 11 years, during which he played for five teams.

The 34-year-old wrote, “Retiring feels a little like death of self, but I’m looking forward to the rebirth -- the opportunity to reimagine my purpose.”
