I think the NFL should plan for the game to be resumed on Thursday night.
That's 72 hrs to give some time for them to know what may be Hamlin's fate, which may or may not be enough but it seems like they should have a pretty good indication of his brain activity by then.
Move both of their Week 18 games to Monday night. That's as much time as playing Sunday and Thursday.
It puts a little pressure on them to prep for week 1 of the playoffs with one less day of rest, but at least it would mitigate this situation as best as is likely.
If Hamlin's fate is death, which I don't really want to think about, the league as a business still has to find a way to move on in a respectful manner. I'm not sure what that is, honestly, other than just playing the games and working as well as they can with game times to accommodate any situation that arises. I mean, it's never going to be perfect for the players and coaches regardless of how they approach the situation, but they can't just cancel everything as heartless as that may sound.
