They’re going to force them to all stay apart all week, find out who has it, quarantine them, and make the rest play on Sunday. The nfl isn’t canceling a game.

They're going to need to at least cancel the Titans game.  Assuming they aren't on a bye they can't risk the team playing this weekend.

It will be VERY bad if the Vikings have positive tests now. that would mean it probably spread during the game. if so, the season is likely over. 

Why would the season be over? Keep testing, quarantine the positives cases, and either postpone games or make them play with what they've got. If 30 teams still aren't affected they keep going on as they have been; maybe even ramp up the protocols/tighten it up a bit on teams and when they're travelling. Season doesn't have to end just because of an outbreak. MLB didn't.

I would expect positives on the vikings

I dunno. Very difficult to spread Covid outdoors. Best case scenerio right now is that the outbreak is isolated to titans.

Definitely will try to do this, maybe a game will be postponed a bit but not cancelled and not without trying to just play it on time even if star players are out with COVID.

So they are saying it is 3 players and 5 personnel. 
 

Points heavily at one of the staff bringing it in.

The Titans traveled correct? Either these guys went out or someone infected got on the plane.

They do not go out per league rules. Confined to hotel.  These guys are living with their families...right?  Kids in school, grocery store trips, etc.  Also all the staff involved.

Did it spread from team to team in the MLB? I honestly don't know.

Pinning this thread. By far the most important football news all day. This ain't good. 

I think you're overrating it a little. It's going to cause two teams to possibly cancel, but that's it. 

You don't watch CFB do you? Teams and games have been postponed out the ass in CFB. But the other teams have kept on playing.

Normal outdoor activities, sure.  Piling on top of each other? Ehh. We will see, I guess.

I'm going with someone in the organization got infected. Even if a bunch of guys went out to the same place and got exposed, I doubt you'd end up with 8 infections from that. The plane theory seems very feasible. Based on exactly who on the roster popped, it'll start narrowing down what happened. Was it a specific unit in meetings together? Was it guys seated closely together on the plane ride? Was it a group of guys who buddy around off the field? We'll see.

Oh okay. So you don't watch any other sports other than the NFL, I see.

It just was contact tracing for those guys, just a few games were cut. It didn't do anything in the long run.

I do. Do you know what conferences are? They are like tiny little leagues made up of a few teams. That is how they keep playing. 

 

You want the NFL to do the same? Lets just play our conference?

Oh, so it didn't spread to team to team. yeah, TOTALLY same thing. 

 

Also, baseball sucks.

Actually, the ACC and Big 12 played nonconference games, boss. Did you forget that? LOL.
