The NFL laid out its plans for the upcoming season in May, releasing a traditional 17-week schedule without any major deviations from its typical format. At the time, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the league could make changes if required due to the pandemic’s impact.
“We will be prepared to make adjustments as necessary, as we have during this off-season in safely and efficiently conducting key activities such as free agency, the virtual off-season program, and the 2020 NFL Draft,” Goodell said in a statement.
