They're going to play like 2 preseason games but still kick off the season on time, just without fans.

Starting to look rough for the season to start as planned.

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.

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.

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?
 
Wonder if covid testing could simultaneously be used for banned substances as well. If NFL wanted to be dicks about it, could be a huge surge in suspensions.

I'm 100% certain that's why the NFL has been dragging its feet about the season thus far.

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?

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.

It was a long time ago but if we use the strike games as a precedent, they'll just play the games as scheduled no matter how unbalanced the rosters get. Not sure they'll do the same thing since it's different times, different reasons and different leadership, but there is precedent for them allowing regulars versus scrubs.

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?

Who the heck knows, I'm guessing they'll just play the games with whoever, which would obviously be ridiculous.
 
They’ll be implementing a IR-to-return-from-Corona exemption policy.
 
They could cut Crawford and sign Clowney today, assuming he'd take a 1/12 deal.

That's a no brainer.
