We are building the list of the replacement referees scheduled for the opening weekend games after the jump.
All times are Eastern. Positions are listed in order: referee, umpire, head linesman, line judge, field judge, side judge, and back judge.
- The relative positions of the officials on the field. The first-down chains are at the top sideline, the single yard-to-gain and the drive-start stakes at the bottom sideline. The chain crew switches sidelines at halftime, as do the four sideline officials.
