The Tennessee Titans have three players and five personnel who have tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from their trip to Minnesota, where they played the Vikings on Sunday.
According to reports, the Vikings have not had any positive tests but are shutting down facility operations just in case.
This will be the NFL’s first real test to see how they will be able to maneuver and play games during the pandemic when positive cases appear.
Unlike in baseball, where the MLB had to cancel games when teams had positive tests, the NFL has a week between games, giving them room to try and get the virus under control in team facilities without having to cancel games.
The Titans are going to work “remotely” this week, which means they might have one practice before their next game against the Steelers, who they will host in Tennessee.
As of now, the NFL has not made any decisions on whether the game will be played and will be monitoring and managing the situation on a day-to-day basis.
While there are no indications that point to any of the tests being false positives, the players and staff members will have to take several more tests over the course of the next few days to confirm the results.
The Titans are currently undefeated with a 3-0 record and stand atop of the AFC South division.
