New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday that the NFL refused to postpone Monday's game against the Miami Dolphins despite the Saints having 18 active-roster players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Appearing on WWL Radio in New Orleans (h/t ProFootballTalk's Michael David Smith), Loomis suggested that the NFL took a hardline stance against postponement well before the game was played:
"I don't know what the reasoning is in New York. Those decisions are made at the league level. But we were told pretty early on that the game wasn’t going to be postponed and just had to deal with it.
