Bob Glauber: Realities of the COVID-19 pandemic difficult for the NFL to block

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it's a minor miracle the NFL has gotten this far. They're through the first seven weeks of the regular season and haven't had to cancel any games, although there has been some juggling because of the Titans' recent outbreak.

But the degree of difficulty remains extremely high, with Will Hernandez's positive test the latest reminder that getting through the rest of the season will be difficult, if not next to impossible.

The third-year guard is now in quarantine, and several other offensive linemen deemed close contacts were kept away from the Giants' practice facility on Thursday. The Giants are optimistic they can return as early as Friday, and as of now, Monday night's game against the Buccaneers is still on.
