How COVID-19 will impact the 2020 NFL season

The NFL season is just around the corner and the COVID-19 pandemic adds a layer of uncertainty for the football world. How will COVID-19 influence the upcoming NFL season? On the latest Reckless Speculation podcast, TC and NFL editor Matt Johnson debate the effects COVID-19 will have on the schedule, salaries and games.

While the NFL is more confident than ever its 2020 season will start on time, there is a hint of doubt in the league's actions. Could modifications to the league's schedule hint at the season being delayed or will football fans finally get their fix on Sep. 10 when the Houston Texans face the Kansas City Chiefs?

The NFL has been fortunate to avoid any real effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the offseason is coming to an end, that's about to change. When players and coaches report for training camp, will some refuse to take part out of concern for their own safety and the health of their families? Even if everyone is willing to show up and play, where will games be held with states like California hinting that no football could be played.

On the latest edition of the Reckless Speculation podcast, Matt and TC dive into exactly COVID-19 will impact the NFL season in a variety of ways.
