Three players and five staff members on the Tennessee Titans have tested positive for coronavirus, shutting the team down as the NFL faces the first major test of its ability to cope with a Covid-19 outbreak. The Titans suspended in-person club activities after the results came in on Tuesday morning. The eight new positive test results the Titans received have been confirmed, according to a person familiar with the matter. Before the season began, the NFL had a scare when it woke up one day to 77 positive results among players and staff that turned out to be false positives. News that eight members of the organization had tested positive came after the team traveled to and from Minnesota.
