(kcstar/nfl) The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signed two veterans from their Super Bowl-winning team.
The Chiefs agreed to terms on one-year deals with fullback Anthony Sherman and defensive tackle Mike Pennel, sources informed of the situation confirmed with The Kansas City Star Tuesday night. Financial terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
In further efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent out a memo to all NFL teams on Tuesday night notifying them that all club facilities would be closed at 6 p.m. ET Wednesday, with limited exceptions.
The shutdowns will carry on until April 8 when the NFL will determine, with the advice of medical experts and public health authorities, whether it’s safe to reopen the facilities or elongate their closures.
In the statement, it outlines the exceptions for who can work at facilities: employees providing ongoing medical treatment to players, as well as employees necessary to maintaining the security and operational capabilities of the facilities.
Though facilities are closed, teams are still free to conduct the signing of players, evaluation of draft prospects, selling tickets and other operations in regards to preparation for the 2020 season.
