The NFL plans to keep an eye on other leagues around the world as they return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"We've been in contact with all domestic leagues, but also sports organizations around the world," NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy said, per Bob Glauber of Newsday. "We have a number of protocols, see what works, see what can translate into our sport. We're all in the sports business, but every sport has its own matters to attend to."

The Bundesliga in Germany will be the first major European soccer league to return on May 16.
