They had originally planned to test on game days, but the probability for a false positive benching healthy players is too high. I'm pretty sure this is wrong gouge for a "team with an outbreak" (ie the Titans). Looking for source where I saw it said the Titans would in fact be tested this am. Found this explanation on ESPN but it doesn't explicitly state when the testing starts, mentions "week 7" for "compliance checks". Edit: I see @wjag source says starting for Week 6, but If the NFL has ID'd game day testing as a gap they will fill next week, it would be silly to wait to test a team coming off a known outbreak today. They can swab the Titans this am and they should be able to get the results back before 7 pm. 1

Fixed it for you @Hapless Bills Fan Haha Well, it could happen, but it won't be because the Bills are wearing moon suits. Funny work though. I'm sure the Bills coaches are reminding them that they already came through a game against a DT for the Raiders who was very likely positive, and to date none of them have been infected.

My Confusion, then I guess they are good to go for tonight I'm pretty sure as an "outbreak team" the Titans got tested this am. OK I found this tweet from Schefter earlier on: Key point of special requirements for "club with an active outbreak" which I assume would still include the Titans: "All players and Tier 1 and 2 individuals...includes PCR and POC tests on game day" So I believe the Titans get POC and PCR tests today. At least, in a sane universe, one would think "team with an active outbreak" would apply to a team that just had the league rescheduled on their behalf. The NFL would look awful dumb if they don't enforce this and someone on the Titans tests positive tomorrow. 1

Likely the compromise they made with the networks is if needed, they will add an extra week towards season end. A fall back too is to cancel games between teams not going to make the playoffs, then shift things around so maybe there is a week where Jax is playing Houston, that game gets canceled and games moved so we now play Tenn that week. Jax Houston can be played the first weekend of the playoffs so all the players still get paid. By week 14 or so will know of some teams that aren't in the playoffs. This actually makes sense with games played on Friday or Monday. Of course teams will treat game like preseason week 4 games putting lots of players on IR whose contracts are not expiring and getting chance to see practice squad players play. Now if we get two teams "competing" for #1 draft pick (not necessarily against each other) it will be interesting if played at same time.
ShakAttack Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Do we know which players on the Titans will remain out due to COVID? Sorry if already posted but have not seen anything.

All reports I've seen say Simmons won't be playing tonight. Their run defense is not good, and it could be terrible without him. Also, he tweeted this a couple hours ago today, indicting he will be watching not playing. 1

Since bonuses are determined by stats I am fairly sure NFLPA would sue NFL/team. Of course NFLPA would sue for a multitude of reasons including not being able to get NFL to agree in agreement they signed on. 1

bobobonators Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Im late to the party here but my Sunday Ticket says this game is blacked out. What channel is this game on?? Is this nationally televised? Nevermind. My tv guide had the game on the 7pm slot so when i looked at the 6pm (im central) slot it wasnt coming up so i started freaking out lol. I need a drink. Long day. Edited October 13, 2020 by bobobonators

Holding an opponent to under 4 yards a carry is good. 3.7 yards a carry is a first down every run. And Jacobs only had 15 carries. Still think our run defense let alone our defense is good? Let Tannehill run for 40 something.

Which is why I said before the game it's ok if Henry runs for 100+ yards. Just stop Tannehill. And we didn't.
