The NFL is set to release its 2020 schedule within the next week, but Peter King of NBC Sports reported it could still change amid concern for the coronavirus.

Teams have been forced to adjust to numerous changes throughout the offseason, and the schedule release could be another test for organizations.

"I think you have to look at 2020 as an experimental year that is off-kilter," a team executive said. "It's a litmus test is how we adapt."

According to King, the NFL is likely making multiple schedules that could include a shortened season with each team playing 10-14 games instead of the regular 16.
