Titans- Steelers game reschedule­d for Oct. 25

-

NASHVILLE, TENN. » The Tennessee Titans now know when they are reschedule­d to play the Pittsburgh Steelers after the first NFL game postponed by a COVID- 19 outbreak.

Getting back into their own building depends on the results of continued testing. The Titans’ outbreak expanded by two more players testing positive Friday, pushing the team’s total to 14 within the past week.

The outbreak forced the NFL to postpone Tennessee’s game from Sunday to Oct. 25, forcing the Steelers into their unplanned bye. Pittsburgh now will play Baltimore on Nov. 1 with the Ravens’ bye now pushed to Week 7 instead of Week 8.

Officials from the NFL and the players’ union also were in Nashville on Friday, meeting with the Titans and reviewing the way the team is handling the matter.

Packers could be without top 2 wideouts against Falcons.
