Titans On Track To Play Bills

The Titans had no new positives from Sunday’s round of COVID-19 testing, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter). With that, they’re on track to play the Bills on Tuesday night.

Over the weekend, one Titans staffer tested positive for the coronavirus, though that person has not been at the team facility for roughly two weeks. The league believes that the staffer has not been in contact with other players, coaches, or executives, which means that Titans currently have the green light to play. If the team gets more positive test results tomorrow morning, that could change.

The Titans returned to their facilities on Saturday after two consecutive days of negative tests — then, the aforementioned personnel positive put things on hold. The Patriots are in a similar spot, and the ripple effect has created a scheduling quagmire across the league. If the Titans are able to play on Tuesday, the Broncos and Patriots will indeed play each other next Sunday. The Broncos and Chargers will then play each other in Week 8, which was supposed to be when Denver had its bye, and the Dolphins will now play the Broncos in Week 11. However, the Jaguars have now been impacted by this mess, as they were supposed to play the Broncos in Week 8. So, no matter what happens in Nashville, there is still more work to be done.
