Report: 2 Additional Titans Players Tested Positive for COVID-19; 7 in Outbreak
Two more Tennessee Titans players reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday to bring the total number to seven.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero later reported Adam Humphries and Cameron Batson were added to the COVID-19 list, though that's not a definite indicator that they contracted the virus.
ESPN's Adam Schefter noted six Titans staff members have also contracted the coronavirus during the team's outbreak.

The NFL announced Friday that the scheduled Week 4 game between Tennessee and the Pittsburgh Steelers was rescheduled for October 25 in Week 7. The Steelers game that week in Baltimore was moved to Week 8.
The Titans closed their team facilities after the initial positive tests, and there's no timetable to reopen them, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network:
The Minnesota Vikings, who played Tennessee on Sunday, haven't recorded any positive tests and were informed on Friday that their Week 4 game against the Houston Texans will move forward as planned, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams saying an outbreak was "not unexpected" and urged everybody to "remain diligent" amid the pandemic:
"All of our medical experts indicated that as testing becomes more prevalent, we are going to have positive tests," Goodell said in June. "The issue is, can we obviously prevent as many of those from happening, but in addition, treat them quickly, isolate them, and prevent them from impacting other personnel?"
The league didn't build any additional bye weeks into its standard 17-week regular-season schedule, so rescheduling games could become difficult if there's a more widespread outbreak across the league.
Tennessee's next game is scheduled for Oct. 11, when it's slated to host the Buffalo Bills at Nissan Stadium.
