Albert Breer reported that NFL owners and executives were told by the NFL this morning that the league is discussing significant changes to Covid-19 protocols within the union.
The NFL has previously stated that it would not reschedule games this season. If a team cannot play due to a Covid spike the burden of cancellation or delay would fall on the club experiencing the Covid infection.
Quarterback Taylor Heinicke is banged up and will likely have practice squad quarterback Kyle Shurmur backing him up. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin and running back JD McKissic are both dealing with concussions that could keep them from playing this Sunday against the Eagles.
