Even with Thursday’s schedule release, the NFL has been considering a number of contingency plans if it needs to adjust the schedule.

The league has put together a plan that would schedule regular-season games starting in mid-October, would include no bye weeks, and would have the Super Bowl on Feb. 28, according to multiple reports.
