The NFL enacted protocols for navigating a nationwide spike in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks related to the emergence of the Omicron variant. Had the league canceled Sunday’s games, players would not have been paid for the week, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Rams-Seahawks game will air Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific.
