It's not going to happen. The new spikes in cases are going to terrify leagues away. Once more cases hit MLB and the NBA, the NFL will shut things down.Starting to look rough for the season to start as planned.
I can't see how the NFL can address the risk of players testing positive just before game day. All expanded rosters will do is water down the quality of play on the field to where every game will look like a preseason game because it'll be comprised of some starters and a ton of backups.They're going to play like 2 preseason games but still kick off the season on time, just without fans.
Yes that's very likely to happen but what do you think the NFL cares about more, watered down play or getting their TV money?I can't see how the NFL can address the risk of players testing positive just before game day.

I'm 100% certain that's why the NFL has been dragging its feet about the season thus far.Yes that's very likely to happen but what do you think the NFL cares about more, watered down play or getting their TV money?
So I get if like 3 players on a team are positive, you just play without them. But I wonder where the line gets drawn. What if 20 players are positive? Unlikely but possible. Do you postpone the game, forfeit or make the team play with a shit load of street players? And is it fair to postpone when a team is missing 20 guys but force the team missing 5 to play with a big handicap?Yes that's very likely to happen but what do you think the NFL cares about more, watered down play or getting their TV money?
nor would you be disappointed. Hate preseason games.I wouldn't be shocked at all if at least 2 more preseason weeks get cancelled.
Yeah, I don't give one shit about preseason games. Have one dress rehearsal game and kick off the season as far as I'm concerned.nor would you be disappointed. Hate preseason games.

Has anyone seen what they say the rules are for players that test positive, go thru quarantine, and are healthy after 2(or maybe more?) weeks? Do they immediately get to get back to team activities?So I get if like 3 players on a team are positive, you just play without them. But I wonder where the line gets drawn.

Who the heck knows, I'm guessing they'll just play the games with whoever, which would obviously be ridiculous.So I get if like 3 players on a team are positive, you just play without them.

So a new 2 week temp ir?They’ll be implementing a IR-to-return-from-Corona exemption policy.
