Titans and Patriots: No New COVID-19 Positive Tests
Good news on a Friday morning.
The Titans and Pats had no new positive tests in Thursday’s round of Coronavirus swabs.
“The Tennessee Titans had no additional positives in Thursday’s round of testing for COVID-19, a source told ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
The New England Patriots also had no new positive tests from Thursday, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, meaning the Patriots’ game against the Denver Broncos remains on for Monday.
The NFL announced on Thursday that the Bills-Titans game, originally set for Sunday, is now scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on CBS.
The game is contingent on Tennessee not having any more positive tests. The organization has had 23 positive tests since Sept. 24.”
Tennessee’s facility has been closed for almost two weeks now, though they’re reportedly going to try to return tomorrow. It’s a home game, so they’d get three practice and/or walkthrough days before unbeaten Buffalo comes to town.
Additionally, the Pats/Broncos game was moved from Sunday to Monday evening for an impromptu doubleheader. The macro-level situation is a little concerning, but on the flip side we’ve got pro football on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of next week. Silver lining right there.
No changes for the Eagles, obviously. The main thing is that the Steelers had to take their bye week this past Sunday, so the Birds have to play them on extra rest. Could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. They will either be well-rested or rusty, and we should hope for the latter.
