San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is optimistic that there will be an NFL season in 2020 despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area on Thursday, York said he's "confident" that "in some way, shape or form" this season will be played.
York did note he's unclear about specifics, including possible fan attendance and locations, but the 49ers medical team "has done an incredible job planning protocols and procedures for when we start up again."
Per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, sources with knowledge of the NFL's planning said there's an "extremely small" chance there won't be any games played.
