Russini says that “all options to reschedule” are being considered by the NFL. The game could potentially move to Monday night, though it will be based on test results.
Through the first three weeks of the season, no NFL games had been canceled or postponed. As part of the unique season, the NFL did decide to eliminate all four preseason games this year and jump immediately in to the 2020 campaign.
A statement from the NFL is expected to come in the near future.
