He said late last month that he thought the start of the season would be moved back, and even asked the obvious question about how to physically play a sport that requires such close contact between so many people at one time.

On Sunday, however, it seems McVay is more on board with the NFL’s plans.

“I feel a lot better now, having a little bit more knowledge and understanding of — it’s really about the risk mitigation, keeping our ecosystem clear,” McVay said, via ESPN.
