NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, while acknowledging things are changing and the league can’t eliminate the risk of contracting the coronavirus, is feeling good about the league’s season starting on time.
“I still do believe we’re on track, and I think we’re in a good place,” Sills said on “The Adam Schefter Podcast” from ESPN. “Obviously, none of us have a crystal ball, and we have to acknowledge that there are some unique features of this virus we can’t predict. But if we were to continue to track on this course we seem to be on right now, I feel optimistic about us being back and playing football this fall and on the schedule we’ve outlined.
