NFL officials are in discussions with representatives of the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles about potential weather-related scheduling contingencies in case Hurricane Joaquin impacts the D.C. area this weekend.
“We are monitoring the forecast and having dialogue with both teams,” said Greg Aiello, the NFL’s senior vice president of communications.
Aiello declined to say what prospective scheduling changes are being discussed.
The Redskins and Eagles are scheduled to play Sunday at 1 p.m. at FedEx Field.
Forecast models differ on which path Hurricane Joaquin will take and what effect it might have on the Washington area’s weather.
