Brady calls for player unity in demanding answers from NFL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is calling for unity among NFLPA members as players seek answers on the NFL's plan to start the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"There are more questions than answers, but we must have faith in our NFLPA leaders, both players and staff, to get the game and the business of football in the right place," Brady tweeted Wednesday. "Let's stay unified and demand necessary answers from the NFL as partners. We're all in this together."

Several high-profile players have criticized the league over its response to the pandemic. The NFL and NFLPA are in ongoing negotiations regarding coronavirus protocols and testing, with both sides in disagreement over injured reserve rules for infected players and contact tracing procedures.

Both parties recently agreed that players will be tested daily for the virus over the first two weeks of training camp, which are scheduled to get underway next week. The league also announced that fans will be required to wear masks at games in 2020.

The NFLPA announced Tuesday that 59 players have tested positive for COVID-19.
