Kyle Terada / USA TODAY Sports
The NFL has decided to keep Sunday's game between the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers at the scheduled location of Oakland Alameda Coliseum, according to ESPN.
The league had been monitoring air quality conditions as a result of the wildfires in Northern California, with the closest roughly a 45-minute drive from the Raiders' home field.
The Raiders were forced to shift the times of Thursday's and Friday's practice sessions, with many players opting to wear masks under their helmets due to the poor air quality in the stadium.
