Right now, there’s no clear indication if that’s not realistic, but the NFL has been clear about maintaining continuity and consistency during the crisis.

I have no idea at this point in time. I don’t have a clue, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. The fact Goodell seems to think it will seems to be a good sign, right?
