The NFL informed teams Wednesday that it is extending its virtual offseason through May 29 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a league memo obtained by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The league and the NFL Players Association initially agreed on a virtual offseason program for clubs that would wrap up on May 15.

Team periods began April 20, though no on-field work can take place until all 32 club facilities are reopened. The NFL reportedly won't allow team buildings to open until all 50 states lift lockdown orders.

All teams must end their virtual offseason programs by June 26, according to the memo. The nature of on-field workouts will be determined and communicated by the league if facilities reopen prior to that date.
