NFL Titans facing unprecedented situation with COVID-19 outbreak

Titans have eight positive coronavirus tests among players and staff, giving NFL its first outbreak

The NFL faced its first outbreak of the novel coronavirus on a team during the season when the Tennessee Titans shut down in-person activities Tuesday after receiving eight confirmed positive test results among players and other personnel.

The Minnesota Vikings, who played the Titans on Sunday in Minneapolis, also suspended in-person team activities, including practices and face-to-face meetings, at least temporarily.

The NFL initially was proceeding Tuesday as though this weekend’s games involving the Titans and Vikings will be played as scheduled, pending further testing results, but cancellations or postponements remained possible.

“This is not unexpected; as Dr. Sills and others have emphasized, there will be players and staff who will test positive during the season,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a memo Tuesday to all teams. Allen Sills is the league’s chief medical officer.

The Titans had three new positive test results among players and five among other team personnel Tuesday morning, the NFL and the NFL Players Association said in a joint statement.

“Both clubs are working closely with the NFL and the NFLPA, including our infectious-disease experts, to evaluate close contacts, perform additional testing and monitor developments,” the league and players’ union said. “All decisions will be made with health and safety as our primary consideration. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.”

    You know this doesn't come as a surprise to me as I see many players and staff not wearing their masks. I hope they all get better soon, and back to playing football..
We will have to wait and see how much of a problem this becomes.
