While it remains unknown if the NFL season will start on time this fall, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said there's a chance negative testing players could play in empty stadiums amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview with NBC Sports' Peter King, Fauci addressed scenarios where teams could play without fans or see a reduced crowd size at games.
"I think it's feasible that negative testing players could play to an empty stadium," Fauci said. "Is it guaranteed? No way . . . There will be virus out there and you will know your players are negative at the time they step onto the field.
