Some NFL have been outspoken about not participating in the NFL season if it is not safe enough to play. Ideas that have been discussed are frequent testing, limiting fans and face shields for players to wear with their helmets.
The NFL has already cut the preseason in half for precautionary reasons and trainings camps are set to open for most teams on July 28.
