“In all, 16 members of the Titans’ organization now have tested positive in the past week: eight Titans’ players and eight other members of the organization.” writes Schefter.
The week 4 game against the Steelers was already postponed to later in the season and two players tested positive just yesterday.
The NFL released a statement about the game postponement:
The Pittsburgh-Tennessee game scheduled for Week 4 will be rescheduled to later this season after one additional Titans player and one personnel member tested positive for COVID-19 today. An announcement of the new game date will be made shortly.
The decision to postpone the game was made to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel. The Titans facility will remain closed and the team will continue to have no in-person activities until further notice.
Schefter is quick to wonder about the Titans’s game next week against the Bills.
With this weekend’s Steelers-Titans game rescheduled, there now will be increased questions about the viability of next weekend’s Titans-Bills game. https://t.co/akuyfg6qCu
