No but the thought that they are going to open the season as usual is foolish considering how bad things are in New York alone. Part of this electronic draft is the idea that business will be as usual in a few weeks and the NFL will not be impacted at all.

[Verdict]

The NFL season will most likely start on time. There may not be fans in the stands but I think it will start on time.

No fans but but 300 tv techs, support crew, players, trainers, coaches, time keepers clock workers, refs, doctors, water girls, security would be OK to start the season? At each game?
Then the carona virus starts up again!

That is not the problem. The problem is the players basically on every play touching each other so the moment one person gets it a bunch do and everything comes to a stop like what happened in the NBA.

That is obvious, players touching each other.
But add 200 or 300 support crew to the 100 players, it becomes a virus incubator.

They will be in VR head gear and be anchored 6 feet apart.

I would be surprised if there were fans in the stands as well, so where there are is not going to have a bearing.
