The dominos are starting to fall, as the NFL scrambles to adjust its schedule with a rash of Covid cases circulating around the league.
In its first move, the league has decided to move Saturday’s game between the Raiders and Browns in Cleveland to Monday at 5:00 pm ET. The Browns were slated to be without half their starting lineup tomorrow, but are hoping to at least have some reinforcements back by Monday.
And they weren’t done there. With both the Washington Football Team and the Los Angeles Rams experiencing similar outbreaks to what the Browns are going through, the league has moved their games back as well.
The Rams will now host the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. The same goes for the WTF at Philadelphia Eagles contest:

No word on the times yet, but the WTF-Eagles game is expect to be at 7pm ET.
Hopefully this is the last of the changes that the NFL needs to make this season, but with the current outbreaks being experienced around the country, I wouldn’t count on it — unless they go the route of eliminating protocols entirely, as many players have requested.
