The NFL says that Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters that the league's focus is to "get ready for games at our stadiums and to engage our fans both in stadiums and through our media partners."
Earlier this month, guidelines were issued by the NFL for when players and teams could return to team facilities on a complete basis.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be holding their 2020 training camp at Heinz Field.
NFL teams were previously told they must hold their training camps at team facilities.
For the Steelers, that means holding training camp locally in Pittsburgh and not at St. Vincent College in Latrobe.
