The Tennessee Titans have seemingly recovered from their recent COVID-19 outbreak, but they’re still dealing with the consequences.
The NFL has reportedly fined the Titans $350,000 for violating COVID-19 protocols, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The fine is the conclusion of the NFL and NFL Players Association’s joint investigation, which was spurred by the weeks-long outbreak on the Titans that led to 24 players, coaches and staff members testing positive.
Titans avoid more serious punishment
Rapoport and Pelissero reported that the Titans were found to have violated the rules on wearing face coverings, and did not clearly communicate the rules about holding workouts outside of team facilities.
