The NFL and the NFL Players Association
recently completed a review of the Titans' actions amid the
outbreak, which started in late September and stretched into
early October. The Titans had at least 24 players or staff
members test positive for COVID-19 and needed to reschedule a
pair of games because of it.
The NFL found incidents in which people were not wearing masks
in the Titans' practice facility. The league also said there was
insufficient communication about player workouts away from the
facility.
No individual player, coach or staff member on the Titans was
disciplined, nor did the Titans lose any draft picks as part of
the punishment. But the team was warned that future instance of
protocol violations would lead to escalated penalties.
The league and players union are now focused on investigating
the Las Vegas Raiders, who had their entire starting offensive
line on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week after right tackle
Trent Brown tested positive for part of the week.
