As wildfires continue to devastate several areas across Los Angeles, causing thousands to evacuate and impacting air quality, the NFL said it is monitoring the situation's potential impact on Monday night's wild-card playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams.
The air quality index in the area varied Wednesday from 150 to well above 300, depending on specific locations, with smoke and ash blanketing the region, posing a significant health risk to residents and players alike.
The Rams, who have a scheduled off day Wednesday, are monitoring the situation, and they reported that, as of Wednesday morning, no players or staff have been impacted by the fires.
The Los Angeles Chargers altered their practice schedule to limit players' time outdoors as they prepare for their playoff game, demonstrating an awareness of health risks posed by the current air quality.
