Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon's tweet from Wednesday night suggesting that the National Football League would never suspend the season as the National Basketball Association did earlier in the evening received considerable attention.
Players from the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz remained quarantined at Chesapeake Bay Arena after their game was postponed, with Jazz center Rudy Gobert having tested positive for coronavirus, according to reports.
Mixon tweeted last week that he opposed extending the NFL regular season to 17 games, and urged fellow players to vote "no" on the new collective bargaining agreement.
