The NFL has postponed the Denver-New England match indefinitely due to another positive coronavirus test with the Patriots.
The game, originally scheduled for Sunday, was moved to Monday night.
A person familiar with the situation said the Patriots closed the facility again after a positive test, and Tennessee Titans announced that it closed the facility on Sunday morning after staff tested positive.
The latest results also endanger the Titans game at Buffalo (4-0) set on Tuesday night after being moved from Sunday. The league is in the fifth week of the schedule, so six games have already been moved.
The NFL has rescheduled New England games for the second straight week after Stephon Gilmore, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, tested positive. Neither team announced the latest results, so according to someone who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, this latest positive result makes their outbreak 4.
“They canceled our game, not the way we practiced all week,” Denver ran back. Melvin Gordon I wrote on Twitter on Sunday morning.
No, it will not be canceled. However, it is uncertain when the Broncos-Patriots will be played.
The Titans finally played on September 27, as the outbreak reached 24. The match against Pittsburgh has already been postponed and then rescheduled on October 25th. The staff sent a statement that the test was found to be positive.
“We are temporarily closing the facility and staying in touch with the league in the next step,” Titans said.
Bears also had a problem and on Saturday moved the aggressive lineman Badara Traore from the practice team to the Reserve / COVID-19 list.
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill addressed the uncertainty of the situation on Saturday.
“It was certainly a roller coaster,” he said. “Sure, the fact that asymptomatic men were positive and seriously symptomatic men were tested negative for multiple days in a row was really amazing. We really know. Only the fact that there isn’t.
“So we have to treat everyone as if they were infected with a virus. Unfortunately, through everything we’ve done over the past week and a half, we may have lost confidence in our test system. Yes, but from the beginning, he said that testing cannot prevent the spread of the virus. This is a way to handle yourself with all protocols and even outside the building. “
