Kristian Fulton Added to Titans' COVID-19 List After Outbreak Ahead of Week 4

The Tennessee Titans have added cornerback Kristian Fulton to the team's COVID-19 list as the franchise navigates an outbreak that forced the postponement of a Week 4 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fulton joins Kamalei Correa, DaQuan Jones, Beau Brinkley and Tommy Hudson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

The matchup against the Steelers has yet to be rescheduled. 

The Titans have not disclosed whether or not Fulton has tested positive. 

Players can be placed on the COVID-19 list for contracting the virus or coming into close contact with someone else who has been infected. Clubs may not explain the reason why a player has been added to the COVID-19 list per NFL-NFLPA policy. 

The league decided to postpone this week's game after the NFL considered delaying kickoff until Monday or Tuesday. Instead, the Titans will get a bye week to recover and regroup. 

"I think they were somewhat shocked—they wanted to play, and they were preparing to play," Vrabel told reporters about his players. "But I think that they understood and realized why the decision was made. They'll handle this like they handle everything else. They'll handle it with professionalism, with understanding and a compassion towards not only ourselves and those people that have been affected, but also Pittsburgh."

The Titans were looking to build on a 3-0 start. Instead, according to Vrabel, they'll refrain from practicing or team workouts until next Monday at the earliest.
