“We plan to start on time,” NFL League spokesperson Brian McCarthy told ESPN. “If we have to make adjustments, we will be prepared to do so based on the latest guidance from our medical experts and public health officials and current and future government regulations.”
The NFL is also moving forward with the assumption that fans will be in stadiums for the first game.
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.
