Report: Titans’ preseason schedule will be cut in half

The Titans will play two less preseason games in 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic took its toll on sports back in March, and has continued to so since.

Now, COVID-19 is affecting the NFL preseason and the Tennessee Titans.

On Wednesday, the league reportedly decided to cancel two preseason games. This means each team will have two preseason games — two home and two away.

The Titans were originally set to face play the Washington Redskins on Aug. 15, the New York Giants on Aug. 2 at home, at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Aug. 29 and play at home against Chicago on Sept. 3.

Here’s a look at the updated preseason schedule. Teams are still expected to have veterans report to training camp no later than July 28.

There’s also always the chance further action could be taken.

Doing away with games allows for a longer acclimation period as teams try to establish protocols to avoid transmission of the virus while they also allow for more time for conditioning after a virtual offseason.
