The NFL does not intend to alter the Week 16 schedule amid a surge in COVID-19 cases across the league.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio that there has been “no discussion of changing the status" of any Week 16 games despite several teams having a laundry list of players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The news comes after the NFL pushed back three Week 15 matchups because of COVID-19 outbreaks. Some within the NFL voiced displeasure with those postponements, including Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, who said pushing back his team's matchup against the Cleveland Browns to Monday night was a "competitive disadvantage to the Raiders.
