Sunday night’s game between the Buccaneers and Raiders has been moved up to the afternoon, the NFL announced Thursday.
The decision was made in an effort to ensure that if the Bucs/Raiders game needed to be postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, that there would still be a game available for fans to watch Sunday night.
The Raiders sent their entire starting offensive line home earlier this week after placing offensive tackle Trent Brown on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and they have yet to practice all week.
Sunday night’s game was to be the first of three straight prime-time contests for Tampa Bay, but will now move from the standalone national slot on NBC to a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff on Fox.
The Seahawks-Cardinals matchup, originally scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET, will become the Sunday Night Football contest on NBC with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET
