Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, believes it may be impossible for the NFL to host a 2020 season amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
With just 12 weeks to go before the official 2020 season kickoff, Fauci told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Thursday that "it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall."
The news comes just days after several players for the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys—including star running back Ezekiel Elliott—tested positive for COVID-19.
