The NFL is moving forward under the assumption a full 2020 season can be played despite the coronavirus crisis halting all sports since March 12.

"The NFL still plans to release 2020 schedule by May 9, based on a full season, per league sources," ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Thursday. "Adjustments to the schedule will be made, as and if necessary, the sources said. Contingencies remain in discussion."

"The NFL is planning to play this fall," Commissioner Roger Goodell said during a FaceTime call with Ankur Jain on April 6.
