Titans-Steelers game this week is being rescheduled for later this season, per source.

There were two more positive tests in Tennessee -- one player, one personnel.

Jackasses who went out clubbing and put themselves ahead of the team and the league should be permanently banned from the NFL.

The season may be in jeopardy if that’s their precedent. Five fricking players test positive and you cancel a game? Jesus. What an awful precedent to set

Put nfl players in a bubble, problem solved. You can’t trust 22 year olds with seven figures in their checking accounts.

I have Big Ben, Juju Smith-Schuster, Derrick Henry, AJ Brown, Tannehill, and Jonnu Smith on my fantasy team. I won't even be able to field a full team

It sucks but it's the right thing to do, I think. otherwise you could get an uncontrollable spread as these teams play each other.

I only have Dionte Johnson but he probably wasn’t starting anyway. Neither of my opponents have any notable Steelers or Titans players going this week, which kind of sucks.

I bet if they had TB (#1 most infectious killer in the world) they'd still be playing the game.

I mean its no different than what baseball did and they came out okay. Whether thats a case of the league relaxing or players keeping out of the public because of the potential risk of losing the season I dont know, but whatever it was will happen here and the league will go on.

Im not saying its a good precedent to set, its not, but it was what it is. The league cares too much about its bottom line to let something cancel the season all together.

They could get one of those hospital ships to pull up to Nashville. There are probably some morgue workers looking for extra work too.

A tuberculosis break out in a teams locker room would be a pretty big deal

Why can’t the quarantine the dudes that test positive. Keep testing everyone until Saturday’s. Those that are negative get to play?

Damn that’s rough. 2 players for the Steelers is fine, but that’s a lot of Titans players to have on your roster. It is likely that you would have run into trouble anyways in week 7 with the Titans original bye week, especially if you also had any Colts, Jaguars, or Vikings players. Just look at it as getting your byes out of the way early.

I’m sure this won’t be the only hiccup this season though
