Bills’ Week 5 opponent, the Titans, see further COVID positive tests

Buffalo Bills’ Week 5 opponents, the Tennessee Titans, are still testing positive for COVID-19 as of Friday.

The past week for the NFL and Tennessee Titans has continued to go from bad to worse.

Following their Week 3 game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Titans had multiple positive tests for COVID-19, the virus continuing to take the United States by storm. As the week has progressed, the issue came to a fever pitch on Thursday, as the league canceled the Titans’ next game in Week 4, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The game will be moved to later this season, but as far as the Buffalo Bills are concerned? There’s potential reason to be concerned. With the Titans’ game originally scheduled for Sunday now off the field, their next game is in Week 5 when the Bills come to town.

That game, now just over a week away, is starting to become a bit of a questionable one. As of Friday, the bad news for the Titans still hasn’t ceased. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, two more players on Tennessee tested positive for coronavirus.

In total, the Titans are now up to seven players who have positive and six other members of the organization. While speculative, Schefter did later add in his report that if the Titans continue to test positive for COVID-19 over the weekend, the Bills could see their Week 5 meeting against the Titans canceled as well:

Throughout the past few days, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott hasn’t made much comment on any COVID-19 related news in the NFL. That didn’t stop cornerback Tre’Davious White, though. White admitted this week while chatting to reporters that there’s concern in the Bills locker room about it, but they’re trusting the precautions in place still.

“It raised a lot of antennas,” White said.

Bills Wire will continue to provide updates on the situation with the Titans over the weekend so be sure to check back.
