Count the 2020 NFL supplemental draft as another sporting event canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the league has announced that there will not be a supplemental draft in 2020.

The supplemental draft gives teams a chance to snatch up some players who were not in the actual NFL Draft, typically players who lost their collegiate eligibility for various reasons.

Teams bid on the players using their following year's draft picks. If a team offers third-rounder for a player and that was the highest bid, they get him. However, they lose their third-rounder in the next draft.

It's a good way to get some extra talent. However, there are usually not many players eligible for the supplemental draft each year and even fewer who get selected.

Given the strain that the coronavirus pandemic is already putting on the league's plans for training camp, the preseason (which was cut in half on Wednesday to two games per team) and 2020 regular season, canceling the supplemental draft this year made sense to the league.

So far, the NFL is one of the few professional sports leagues that has been able to remain relatively normal, mainly because the past months have lined up with the offseason. The NFL Draft was conducted remotely and all team work had to be conducted virtually.

But now, as the season approaches, changes are being made to better ensure teams' health and safety.

In addition to the supplemental draft's cancellation and the shortened preseason, the NFL also has moved the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony to 2021 and canceled this year's Hall of Fame preseason game that was set for the same weekend.
