Tennessee Titans test positive for COVID-19, Steelers game uncertain
By Will Lomas
What we know
247Sports has a Tennessee Titans site covering the team and their Twitter account summed up a lot of what we know. I have embedded that below:
#Titans COVID-19 Update: what we know.
— Titans247 (@NFL_Titans247) September 29, 2020
-3 players tested positive for COVID-19.
-5 team personnel tested positive for COVID-19.
-Titans suspend in person club activities.
-Titans have shut down the team facility until Saturday.
-No word yet for #PITvsTEN set for Sunday.
You may remember that I said 10 and not 8 at the beginning of this article. Well, the additional information we know is that the Titans defacto DC, Shane Bowen has also tested positive for COVID-19, but he didn’t travel to the game on Sunday. That would be number nine.
We also know that rookie 1st round pick Isaiah Wilson has been on the COVID-19 list for three weeks now and has yet to come off the list. That makes ten.
I don’t think we will learn the names of the players affected until later this afternoon when they are placed on the COVID-19 list. However, it might take longer to learn the coaches affected by this because if the team is working from home they are under no obligation to tell anyone anything about who has it and there won’t be a way to connect the dots.
Let’s talk about what this means for the Steelers.
