After announcing that an outbreak had closed the Tennessee Titans’ team facilities after several players and staff members tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, the NFL made the decision to postpone Sunday’s scheduled matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Titans.
The league made the decision to move the game provisionally to either Monday or Tuesday after the Titans announced that their team facilities would be closed until Sunday. The players who tested positive, DaQuan Jones, Beau Brinkley, and Tommy Hudson, are at home with flu-like symptoms along with a handful of staffers.
While the outbreak is currently confined to just a few players, there is a possibility that more positives could show up in the next few days, which could change the league’s plans.
In the meantime, Titans players will be tasked with working out at their homes or alone while attempting to prepare for a game in less than a week’s time after virtually no team practices. At most, the Titans might be allowed just one practice session over the weekend if enough negative tests are recorded.
The only thing which is clear at this point is that the scheduled Sunday game between the undefeated Titans and the undefeated Steelers will have to wait at least a couple of days to be played.
