The off-season may have had its share of drama (with a dash of it yet to come with Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson), but there's always time for some pre-season action.
Every pre-season, NFL teams decide to hold joint practices with other teams as part of their training process. It gives teams an opportunity to scrimmage against other teams instead of their own teammates, which is what they do throughout training camp.
Since COVID protocols prevented teams from hosting joint practices last season, it seems that more teams than usual are participating this year.
