Top Ten Changes the NFL May Have for the 2020 Season

Like masks, face shields help protect people from germs when other people talk, spit, and breathe. Naturally, the NFL may make players wear them. However, some players don't like wearing them, especially if they play outdoors in the heat. Recently, J.J. Watt said he may not play the season if he has to wear one. This could be one key change the NFL makes for the 2020 season.

Now this is a big one. The NFL may possibly let players opt out of the season if they don't want to risk contracting the Coronavirus and passing it on to their families. If they do let players do this, we could see some star players not playing the season.

This will probably happen, though I don't know how it will work. Six feet is the distance needed to be kept between people for social distancing, and in a crowded and enclosed space like an NFL locker room, keeping apart is important.

Like face shields, masks help protect people and prevent the spread of Coronavirus. The similar issue with face shields is that players would not like wearing them for a full game, and I can see why.

Yeah probably inevitable that they are required at some point

This also seems likely to happen. To attempt and keep Coronavirus under control, both players and coaches would need to be tested everyday, so they can be quarantined and prevent other teammates from contracting it.

Some teams are letting fans in at reduced capacity, while some are not letting them in at all. It will be interesting to see what games are like with reduced or no fans.

This has already been confirmed by the NFL, but this just seems ridiculous. Players are tackling and hitting each other the whole game, yet they can't give each other their jerseys after the game. You're more likely to get Coronavirus from playing the game than getting it from someone else's jersey.

This could actually happen. Preseason has already been cut in half, and it wouldn't surprise me if they got rid of all of the games. Training camp could be cancelled too, but less likely to happen. Currently, the NFL plans to go through with it soon.

Well training camp will probably happen but no preseason is confirmed

In a worst case-scenario, COVID-19 is peaking by early September, and the NFL cancels Week 1 and Week 2. That would complicate a lot of things with less games, though NFL games have been cancelled before.

Again the MLB cancelled games because of the Marlins outbreak take notes NFL
