We’re right in the thick of it. Whether the NFL should or should not be planning to run a season during a global pandemic is irrelevant at this very moment. They’re going for it. Just this past week the NFL began training camp across the league and we saw all kinds of new things, from players arriving to camp wearing masks and taking their temperature using state of the art thermometers to socially-distanced locker rooms with Plexiglas shields separating players. Don’t forget players wearing bracelets with chips in them to monitor contact tracing.
On top of that, there are players all around the league, including Detroit, opting out of playing during the 2020 season.
