As Hurricane Ian bears down on Southwest Florida, the NFL is preparing its contingency plan for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday night. 

The game is currently scheduled to be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, at 8:20 p.m. ET, but the league has chosen U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in case the game cannot be played at the Bucs' home stadium, according to ESPN.

"This is only a contingency," NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller said, "but we will remain nimble and adaptable."

The Buccaneers have evacuated the area and are practicing at the Miami Dolphins facility this week. 

"We can't control the outside forces," Bucs coach Todd Bowles said, according to ESPN. "You know, our thoughts are with the city of Tampa right now, but where we have to play. Hopefully it is Tampa and everything is fine; that means we're not damaged too much. But if we have to go play elsewhere, you know, we just have to focus and lock in. Nobody's gonna to feel sorry for us, you know, so we've gotta be ready to play."
