NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have suspended in-person activities through Friday after the NFL says three Titans players and five other personnel tested positive for the coronavirus. The Titans played the Vikings in Minnesota last weekend. The Vikings also are suspending in-person activities. The league says both teams are working with infectious disease experts to trace contacts and perform more tests. A person familiar with the situation says all eight test results are confirmed positives, making this the first COVID-19 outbreak of the NFL season in Week 4. The Titans are scheduled to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. However, the Titans are unable to practice until Saturday at the earliest. - By TERESA M. WALKER, AP Prof Football Writer.
