The NFL announced Tuesday that Sunday's Week 1 game between the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't be played in Miami as scheduled due to Hurricane Irma.

The league hasn't announced when or where the game will be played, but options include Sunday at a neutral site or in Miami later in the season. The teams share a Week 11 bye, though sitting out Week 1 would put both teams at a major disadvantage to the rest of the league, needing to play 16 straight games without a week off.

No timeline has been set to make a decision on the game, but the league notes an update will be provided as soon as possible.
