NFL says Raiders may be permitted to return to Napa for training camp
Bit by bit, we are seeing the NFL return to normal. There was actual draft festivities this year, there will be some in-person offseason training and minicamps, and now the league has told all teams who hold their training camps off-site, may do so once again.
Here’s the full memo, which also clarifies that restrictions on gatherings away from the facility will be relaxed during the offseason, allowing vaccinated staff members to gather with other vaccinated staff members, and players with other players, but no mixing of the two. pic.twitter.com/8Mi9kpVSs9

Prior to last year, the Raiders had long held their training camp in Napa. That was the plan once again even with the move to Las Vegas, but in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the league put a stop to that, saying all clubs must hold their training camps at their home facility.
The memo states that clubs may apply to hold their training camp away from their home facility, providing they can assure they will be able to comply with all COVID-19 protocols set forth by the NFL and NFLPA.
