The NFLPA emailed players a memo in question-and-answer format Tuesday.
According to the email, players participating in NFL training camps this year will provide a blood sample for a "population study" to determine what level of HGH will result in penalties. While Tuesday's memo says owners and players "will likely finalize soon" the in-season weekly HGH testing, the union does not indicate what the NFL has agreed to -- or give specifics about what stands in the way.
