Titans' Vrabel tests positive for COVID-19
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Sunday he's tested positive for COVID-19, according to team reporter Jim Wyatt.
The Titans head coach decided to get tested after experiencing a sore throat. Vrabel is currently quarantining and added he believes no one else has tested positive at the moment.
Tennessee participated in joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week before the two sides clashed in a preseason contest Saturday.

The Buccaneers are monitoring the situation while receiving additional guidance from the NFL, though they are not currently required to make any drastic changes as of now, according to The Athletic's Greg Auman.
Vrabel will be required to produce two negative tests within a 48-hour period or wait 10 days before rejoining the Titans.
