No other positive tests around the NFL besides the coach in Tennessee and the player in New England from Saturday's round of COVID-19 testing, per source.

The NFL told head coaches and GMs in a call Monday its goal was still to play all 256 games in 17 weeks -- and everyone needed to be more vigilant about COVID protocols because there are only so many byes to move. Now, more adjustments needed after #Patriots-#Broncos postponed.

So what about a possible "Week 18"? As we reported last week, it has been discussed. But my understanding is the NFL wants to preserve that in case late-season games need to be made up. They'll shuffle byes for now.

The more games moved, of course, the harder it gets.

The #Patriots and #Chiefs also had no new positives from Monday's COVID-19 testing, per source. If all stays on track, New England planning to return to practice field Wednesday following its unexpected bye.

With New Orleans shut down and its Mayor Latoya Cantrell repeatedly declining to allow the Saints to have limited-capacity fans, team officials are meeting today with LSU officials about hosting upcoming games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La, per Saints' official Greg Bensel.

New NFL-NFLPA protocols require six days of testing to enter the facility. Cleveland lost Garrett Gilbert to Dallas on Monday and quickly got Lauletta, who took his first COVID test Tuesday ... so Saturday is Day 5. He’s not allowed to test Sunday and drive to Pittsburgh either.
