Two more Titans tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday despite shutting everything down on Sept. 29, and there now appears to be an explanation why.
According to NFL reporter Paul Kuharsky, a group of Titans players, which included quarterback Ryan Tannehill, held a private workout together on Sept. 30 at a prep school in Nashville.
The workout is a direct violation of NFL protocols.
The day prior, the Titans shut down their team facility and the franchise was told “no in-person meetings, workouts or activities at the facility or elsewhere.”
The NFL is still investigating the origins of how COVID-19 has spread through the Titans organization, which is now up to 22 cases.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell warned teams on Monday that violations of COVID-19 protocols could result in forfeiture of games and/or draft picks. ESPN reported earlier on Wednesday that the Titans may be forced to forfeit their Week 5 game against the Bills.
The Titans must produce back-to-back days of negative tests before they can return to their facilities.
