NFL teams are reportedly considering flying to and from road games on the same day to avoid potential extra exposure to COVID-19.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported "multiple" teams are planning to make the travel adjustment, which could come with several complications.
Teams typically fly into the cities where they're playing road games the day before the game. Complications for the players would be inherent. Even short flights require prolonged periods of sitting, which can create stiffness and muscle issues on a day when players have to perform. It could put them at greater risk of injury or at a competitive disadvantage.
