The NFL will consult with a committee of former attorneys, general managers, and players to define issues such as whether to postpone, change, or even cancel games this season due to the coronavirus pandemic. Troy Vincent, the league’s head of sports operations, said Wednesday that consultants, who will report directly to commissioner Roger Goodell, will help avoid “inequity” decision-making issues. Vincent did not identify any members and said he is awaiting his approval to make it public.

“We hope there is no inequity, but based on what we’ve seen, we need to be flexible,” said Vincent, who noted that teams probably won’t play the same number of matches and that will affect postseason positions. This is an example of the issues that advisers will resolve. Vincent also indicated that the league will consider playing the playoffs in a bubble environment, ensuring that “all options are on the table”. Saints coach Sean Payton recently proposed this possibility during a competition committee meeting. The league handed over all 32 teams on match day this week. Detailed stadium information includes rules for the field, band, changing rooms, tunnels, entrances and training rooms. In the banking area may be active players, coaches, designated club staff with active duties (maximum 65): referees (maximum 7); extended personnel (maximum 5); a coach for coaches; the disenrolled consultant for head trauma, a medical specialist in the airways and a liaison with the doctor of the visiting team. Owners may be in the countryside but not in the banking area. In addition, medical tests will have to be carried out on the game day. There can only be pre-packed food for players, club, staff and referees. Constant cleaning and disinfection procedures will be required; establish the coordinated and staggered arrival and departure of the teams; as well as implement social estrangement measures. Travel protocols ask for a maximum of 110 people in the group you will travel, wearing masks during the journey. All members, such as airlines, hotels and buses, must meet the standards of protection set by the NFL and the Players Union. Dr. Allen Sills, the league’s chief physician, announced that NFL personnel who have tested positive for COVID-19 will be removed from the test list for 90 days, as set forth by information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
