The NFL and Titans banned all in-person activities after multiple positive COVID-19 test. The players held a workout without approval from team or league officials.

“We’ve asked our players in light of the recent tests to not gather,” Vrabel said. “Whether that’s a league protocol or us asking them so that we can just avoid close contacts, and that we can try to work through this and get back into the building to prepare for Buffalo as quickly as possible.”’

The Titans Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was rescheduled for Oct. 25. Tennessee is scheduled to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The status of Sunday’s game is unclear as two additional Titans players received positive test results on Wednesday.

A morning summary:
Two new positive tests in Tennessee, putting Sunday’s Bills-Titans game in jeopardy.
Patriots CB Stephon Gilmore tested positive, putting Sunday’s Patriots-Broncos game in jeopardy.
No positive tests today with Chiefs, who played Patriots on Monday night.
