NFL could move Titans-Steelers to Monday night due to coronavirus cases?

By Zac Wassink | Last updated 9/29/20

With the Tennessee Titans amid a coronavirus outbreak that caused them and the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee's Week 3 opponent, to temporarily close team facilities, the NFL is considering all options for this Sunday's game between Tennessee and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the league could move that game to Monday night to allow for additional testing and also buy some time to assess the outbreak:

NFL wants to and intends to play the Titans-Steelers game as scheduled Sunday; one of the contingency plans to allow for additional testing and contact tracing to occur would be to move the game to Monday night, per source.

The Vikings haven't yet reported any positive test results. Minnesota plays at the Houston Texans on Sunday.

The Atlanta Falcons travel to face the Green Bay Packers for the previously planned Week 4 "Monday Night Football" matchup. Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota are all scheduled to be in action the subsequent Sunday.
