As the United States continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, Pro Football Talk has confirmed that the league is reducing its preseason schedule from four games to two. An official announcement is expected on Thursday.
“The move was driven by two primary factors,” Mike Florio wrote. “First, teams who will be playing preseason games on the road won’t want to move that many people. Second, given that no teams had on-field practice sessions in the offseason, coaches would rather have the extra time to work with their teams, and that will happen if they don’t have to worry about two extra preseason games.
