Week 5 is not looking good for the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots, with both organizations announcing that more players have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Titans had the first and, so far, only coronavirus outbreak in the NFL, with more than a dozen positive tests. As a result, they had to postpone their Week 4 game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After several days of no positive tests, the Titans were hoping that they could reopen their facility on Wednesday.
But that’s obviously not going to happen now, since the team announced that two more players have tested positive as of Wednesday morning. As of right now, it’s unlikely that Tennessee will be able to travel to Buffalo to play the Bills this Sunday. This might create big scheduling problems for the team, who have not played against because of the outbreak since Week 3.
The Patriots announced today that their star cornerback Stephon Gilmore has tested positive. There are now three players on the team with positive tests, Gilmore, practice squad defensive lineman Bill Murray, and quarterback Cam Newton, who has been in self-quarantine since last week.
The Patriots are scheduled to host the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
