The NFL is less than three weeks away from beginning training camps across the league. However, there are still concerns from players about the safety of such activities.
Three Miami Dolphins defensive backs took to Twitter to voice their concerns on how the NFL plans to protect players when they return to the field.
Byron Jones, Kavon Frazier and Ryan Lewis all stated that they want to play this season, but would like to see the league put safety measures in place before they return.
We want to play football. Work with us @NFL to make it happen safely, please. https://t.co/SyGy8whq8r

Dear @NFL, please address the health and safety concerns so we can play football this year! I know everyone wants to see football this year, but we need the NFL to step up and create a safe work environment for us. #SafetyFirst

While there have been multiple reports about what the NFL may do to make training camps safer, no formal announcement of these policies has been made.
The NFL reportedly is shortening the preseason from four games to two and possibly reducing the size of rosters in training camps down from the usual 90 players.
However, the NFLPA has expressed a desire to have the preseason completely scrapped.
It is clear that players have their concerns, but it will be up to the NFL to address them prior to the start of training camp.
