And teams only forfeit games if enough players catch covid at the same time that affects the game to a point the NFL would have to step in and postpone the game, as had done several times last year.

Per OvertheCap.com, 22 players on 14 teams(max 3 players/team) are on the Reserve/COVID-19 list (however they don't update regularly and that list is likely several weeks old), as such, it isn't as widespread as it seems. It's only seems so because a few big names have been there over the past couple of weeks.
