It only took three weeks, but we’re gonna see how the NFL handles the coronavirus outbreak. Eight people within the Tennessee Titans organization, three players and five team personnel have tested positive for Covid-19 this morning after their game in Minneapolis this past Sunday. The Titans have shut their facility down through Saturday after the positive results, and although Minnesota hasn’t had any positive tests, they closed their facility as a precautionary measure and the team won’t return to the facility until all test results are in.
