Report: No positives across NFL, all Sunday games set to go
There are zero new positive tests around the NFL after the league's latest round of testing, and all of Sunday's games will proceed as scheduled, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The league experienced widespread COVID-19 issues this week.
The Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Indianapolis Colts were all forced to close their facilities due to positive tests, though Indy's tests were quickly revealed to be false positives.

A Denver Broncos coach also tested positive for the coronavirus on Saturday.
The league was relatively successful in its efforts to limit the impact of COVID-19 over the first few weeks of the 2020 season. However, the Tennessee Titans' outbreak that infected over 20 players and personnel, and required two of the team's games to be rescheduled, renewed concerns about the league's health and safety protocols.
