Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings close facilities after Titans players test positive for the coronavirus

The Tennessee Titans have closed their facilities until Saturday after three players and five team personnel members tested positive for the coronavirus, the NFL announced Tuesday.

While no official decision has yet been made about the Titans' game Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Nashville, the NFL wants and intends to have that game played as scheduled, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

One of the contingency plans to allow for additional testing and contact tracing to occur would be to move the game to Monday night, a source told ESPN.

The eight new positive tests for the Titans have been confirmed after additional testing, a source told ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
