NFL says its coronavirus positive test rate is under 1%

• NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills told reporters during a conference call Wednesday that he was "not aware of anyone that has had severe illness up to this point."

What's next: Helmets came out at training camps for the first time on Wednesday, part of a gradual ramp-up process ahead of the season. As traditional practices get underway, it will be more difficult to remain socially distant.

• The NFL has been testing players daily and had agreed with the NFL Players' Association to slow testing to every other day if the positivity rate fell below 5%.
• But the two sides agreed Wednesday to extend daily testing of players through at least Sept. 5.
