The current pandemic is taking its toll on just about everyone and just about everything. We have already witnessed other professional sports leagues have to suspend their season, only to restart their seasons to varying degrees of success. The NFL was in the midst of their offseason when suspensions and closures begun impacting the sports world, giving them some time to get ahead of the curve. Sure, the 2020 NFL Draft was altered but until recently, we really haven’t been able to see how the upcoming season may be impacted.
Recently, NFL players around the league, and specifically six Atlanta Falcons’ players including linebacker Foye Oluokun and fullback Keith Smith have landed on the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list.
