Longtime Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is currently gearing up for what will ultimately become his first go-round as a member of the Indianapolis Colts. However, even after well over a decade atop the highest level, it is quite clear that Rivers fully understands that he is now preparing for a season like no other in the history of the NFL.

As a result, Rivers asked an intriguing and season-defining question during an NFL Players Association call on Friday. According to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Colts quarterback asked what would happen if a player tested positive for the “coronavirus” before a big game, say like the Super Bowl?

“The answer Rivers got is that there would be no exceptions, even for the Super Bowl, even if the player is asymptomatic,” writes Michael David Smith of NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk. “The rules say that any player who tests positive would have to be isolated for at least five days, and then could only return if he tested negative twice, and those two tests were administered at least 24 hours apart.”

Even with this year's installment of NFL training camp technically just a few weeks away from commencing, there are obviously more than a few poignant questions that still have not been answered. Even if the NFL manages to salvage the upcoming 2020-21 campaign with no fans — or limited fans — in attendance, there is no doubt that the 2020 season will cause unexpected obstacles that both players and organizations as a whole will be forced to face head-on.
