TITANS FINALLY ARE BACK AT WORK

The Tennessee Titans have heard some of the calls for the NFL to punish them harshly for the team’s role in the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak, and they have some words of caution after first-hand experience. It’s still a pandemic. And testing, even as much as the NFL does, is not perfect.

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said Saturday it’s been a roller coaster as people with no symptoms test positive while others with full-blown symptoms receive consecutive negative tests on multiple days. He noted everyone had said from the beginning that testing would not prevent the virus from being spread.

“It was really eye-opening and just the fact of we really don’t know, so we have to treat everyone as if they have the virus, unfortunately,” Tannehill said. “I feel like we probably lost faith in the testing system just through everything we’ve been through over over the past week and a half.”

The Patriots also had no positive COVID-19 tests Saturday,

allowing them to return to their facility.

League fines Ramsey

The NFL fined Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey $15,625 for his role in an altercation with Giants receiver Golden Tate after last Sunday’s game, a person with knowledge of the situation said.

Tate was not fined, said the person, who was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly and requested anonymity.

Notable

The Jaguars will be without their best pass rusher at Houston. Defensive end

Josh Allen, who has two of the team’s four sacks this season, was downgraded to out and did make the trip. Allen made the Pro Bowl as a rookie last season.

Le’veon Bell (hamstring) will be back in the backfield for the Jets. The star running back was activated Saturday from the injured reserve list and will be eligible to play at home against the Cardinals.
