According to NBC Sports , league and the union officials have agreed that all 32 teams have to abide by the same rules. In other words, if any NFL teams are in a stay-home state, all 32 teams would stay home.
The virtual part will consist of three weeks of classroom work, workouts, and non-football programs, the NFL stated.
