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.
