In continuing fallout from the coronavirus spreading throughout the league, the NFL has announced the postponement of three games that were scheduled for this week, the Associated Press reports.
The Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans game has been moved from Sunday to Tuesday night. Sunday’s Denver Broncos at New England Patriots game will move to Monday night. Both the Titans and the Patriots have had players and/or staff who tested positive for the coronavirus in the last ten days.
The Kansas City Chiefs game at Buffalo, originally scheduled for next Thursday will be rescheduled because the Chiefs have had players test positive.
A Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers game schedule for last week was also rescheduled, which forced the rescheduling of a Steelers game at the Baltimore Ravens later in the season.
At least 23 players and staff for the Titans have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Unlike the NBA and NHL, the NFL has not scheduled games in a “bubble” to isolate players and staff. Some teams allow fans at their games, and teams allow players to live in their homes instead of a central hotel or campus.
