Covid related. NE is up in the air since they didn't hold practice today due to a couple cases...

NFL schedule changes

New England Patriots
The Patriots were scheduled to play the Broncos on Sunday in Week 5. That game was initially moved to Monday before it was postponed due to further positive COVID-19 tests on the Pats.
New England was scheduled for a Week 6 bye, but will instead play Denver in Week 6.

Denver Broncos
The Broncos were due for a Week 8 bye, but served their bye in Week 5 alongside the Patriots after that postponement.
Denver was scheduled to play the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, but that game has been moved so the Broncos can play the Pats in Week 6. Denver and Miami will now play in Week 11.
The Broncos were supposed to play the Chargers in Week 11. That game has been moved to Week 8, where Denver was originally slated for a bye.

Tennessee Titans
After playing on Tuesday night in Week 5, the Titans will host the Texans as scheduled in Week 6. Then Tennessee will make up its Week 4 game against the Steelers in Week 7. Week 4 became the Titans bye week due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

Buffalo Bills
The Bills were forced to play their Sunday-scheduled Week 5 game against the Titans on Tuesday due to COVID-19 protocols involving Tennessee.
That pushed Buffalo's Week 6 game against Kansas City, which was scheduled for Thursday night, to Monday night at 5 p.m. ET. So far, Buffalo will have played all its scheduled opponents in the correct weeks, but twice on different days of the week.

Kansas City Chiefs
Instead of playing the Bills on Thursday night in Week 6, that game will now take place Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins have both the Patriots and Chargers on their schedule, so since those schedules have shifted, so has Miami's.
Jets at Dolphins moved from Week 10 to be played in Week 6.
Chargers at Dolphins moves from Week 7 to Week 10.
Dolphins at Broncos moves from Week 6 to Week 11.
Miami will now have its bye in Week 7 instead of 11.

Los Angeles Chargers
Since the Chargers have moved from Week 11 to Week 8 for their game against the Broncos, other games have shifted.
Jaguars at Chargers moves from Week 8 to Week 7.
Chargers at Dolphins moves from Week 7 to Week 10.
Jets at Chargers moves from Week 6 to Week 11.
Bye week moves up to Week 6 from Week 10.

Jacksonville Jaguars
The Chargers' schedule movement also affects the Jaguars.
Jaguars at Chargers moves from Week 8 to Week 7.
Jacksonville's bye week moves from Week 7 to Week 8.

New York Jets
Also scheduled to play both the Dolphins and the Chargers, the Jets are also impacted.
Jets at Dolphins moves from Week 10 to Week 6.
Jets at Chargers moves from Week 6 to Week 11.
New York's bye week moves up a week to Week 10 from Week 11

I have a feeling all those changes mean nothing when the next cases pops up.

Yup. At some point they'll run out of elaborate ways to reschedule...

Have we gone a whole day with no NFL schedule changes? Still have a few hours.

I saw somewhere that players and staff will now be tested before all games, so stay tuned!
