Eight members of the Tennessee Titans organization -- three players and five personnel -- have tested positive for the coronavirus in the first outbreak to hit the National Football League, coming after its third week of games.

The team suspended all in-person activities through Friday, but head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who Tennessee is scheduled to host on Sunday, said they've been told to prepare as if they game will be played on time.

The Minnesota Vikings also suspended in-person activities because they played the Titans last weekend. 

 

Mahomes, Fiancee Announce Having A Baby

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his fiancee, Brittany Matthews, announced on social media Tuesday that they're having a baby. The 25-year-old Mahomes got the richest contract in U.S. team sports history over the summer with a 10-year extension that could pay him almost $500 million. That came after he led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl championship in February, winning the game MVP as they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20.
