Instead of a two-week stay, Washington will be here for only one week, from Tuesday, July 27, to Saturday, July 31, before returning to Ashburn to prepare for its preseason games.
Also, the city will not be asked to make a $500,000 contribution to the team for its appearance. Instead, the team will rent out the Leigh Street facility for the week at a cost of $100,000.
The five open practices will culminate with a special workout on July 31, as all NFL teams will participate in a nationwide day celebrating the return of football.
Training camp in Richmond dates:
July 27-31
The 31st, a Saturday, will be fan appreciation day and part of a special national celebration of football the NFL is putting onhttps://t.co/GOcbjSs2U5
