The NFL is cutting its schedule of preseason games from four weeks to two weeks as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The move gives all 32 teams extra practice time after the COVID-19 outbreak prevented them from getting any on-field work together during the offseason.
Training camps and the start of the regular season – opening July 28 and Sept. 10 respectively for both the Giants and Jets – still are expected to happen on schedule. However, the league is canceling games in Weeks 1 and 4 of the preseason, according to a report on NBCSports’ ProFootballTalk.
