In a social media post on Monday, the Bucs showed head coach Bruce Arians – among other coaches, including defensive coordinator Todd Bowles – making their way back into Tampa Bay’s training facility, all wearing masks.
Welcome back, coaches 👋

After closing down in March due to COVID-19, facilities around the league began to re-open their doors in May, with no coaches or players permitted and up to 75 people allowed in the building at any given time.
Arians and Co. return to the Bucs’ training facility follows a memo sent to the league by commissioner Roger Goodell earlier in the month, stating that coaches would be free to return to work at their respective facilities starting June 5. Members of the coaching staff count against the still-imposed 75-person max and all organizations that are returning to their facilities must follow state and local guidelines.
Players are still not permitted to return unless they are actively undergoing medical treatment or rehab for an existing injury.
