The N.F.L. has fined the Tennessee Titans $350,000 for their handling of the largest outbreak of coronavirus infections this season that forced the league to reschedule a dizzying array of games.

The league, though, did not suspend anyone associated with the Titans, including their coach and general manager, or players who were seen on video participating in an ad hoc practice away from the team’s facility. The fine was imposed for failing to communicate workout protocols and not wearing masks in facilities.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said two weeks ago that the team, who at 5-0 are among the league’s most exciting on the field, was cooperating with the league’s investigation.
