NFLPA president JC Tretter says the NFL was close to canceling three games this past weekend in the wake of multiple COVID-19 outbreaks among teams.

Instead the league moved Saturday's game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns to Monday, and rescheduled two Sunday games -- Washington at the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams -- to Tuesday.

Tretter, the Browns' starting center, was asked Wednesday about criticism he received from Raiders players for pushing the game to be rescheduled.

"I think the thing that people didn't understand was I was fighting for the same thing for the Browns players as I was for the Raiders players, which was to get paid. ... I don't think everybody was fully aware of just how close those games were to being canceled," Tretter said. "And I don't think everybody was fully aware that, if canceled, they weren't going to get paid. Both teams weren't going to get paid."
