Some counties in California have altered their guidelines for COVID-19, leading to some concerns with the NFL teams who reside in the state. Despite the new regulations, the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers are not expected to relocate for the rest of their home games, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Late last month, Santa Clara County — the county where the San Francisco 49ers play — prohibited contact sports from happening amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the 49ers were forced to relocate for the rest of their home games this season.

After mulling their options, San Francisco has already made the move to Arizona and will host their remaining home contests at the same stadium the Arizona Cardinals play in. On the other hand, Los Angeles County hasn't restricted contact sports, allowing the Rams and Chargers to continue playing at SoFi Stadium.
