The NFL’s COVID-19 bubble is bursting, and the only way to fix it is to use a bubble.
The Bills Titans game on Tuesday was left in uncertainty as the Titans announced on Sunday that the facility has been closed again.
“This morning we learned that an employee had tested positive,” the team said in a statement. “We have temporarily closed our facility and will be in touch with the league on the next steps.”
It is unclear what the next steps will be. And it’s hard to imagine the Titans will be home to Buffalo in two days.
According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, the new positive was generated by a trainer. That’s 12 players and 10 non-players for the Titans, a total of 22 employees who tested positive.
The NFL and NFL Players Association have been investigating the situation in Tennessee, and many in league circles believe an unprecedented punishment may come. The fact that the positive cases are still coming won’t help Tennessee’s cause.
The only way to help the NFL cause is by creating a bubble in the home market. The sooner the league and the union accept this, the sooner all 256 games can be saved.
