Under normal circumstances, you would almost have to force Indiana linebacker Thomas Allen out of his school’s athletic facilities. His recovery plan changed dramatically when the coronavirus pandemic shut down campuses and college sports. He is among many football players across the country recovering from injuries who have limited access to top-tier equipment and one-on-one help. Some experts say those issues could lengthen recovery times and put athletes at risk of re-injury. (AP Photo/Doug McSchooler, File)
