The NFL has postponed Sunday's game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers to either Monday or Tuesday.

The postponement follows positive COVID-19 tests among the Titans from four players.

Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that some of the players who tested positive were experiencing flu-like symptoms.

"I know there's going to be a lot of questions about the game and about who's to blame and where it started. Nobody's to blame. We're in a pandemic," Vrabel said. "... This is a very unfortunate situation, but one that we're confident that we will be able to handle safely with the football team and the players' best interests in mind."

Titans' FRP Isaiah Wilson Arrested On DUI Charge

Sep 12, 2020 2:56 PM

Isaiah Wilson was arrested Friday night for DUI, the Davidson County Sheriff's Office confirmed.

Wilson was the first round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2020.

"We are aware of the situation," the Titans said in a statement. "This is not conduct that is indicative of the character of our football team and we are working through details on how to proceed."

Wilson agreed to a Breathalyzer test, which resulted in a blood alcohol level of .107. The limit in Tennessee is .08.

Wilson started training camp on the COVID-19 reserve list and struggled with conditioning once he was able to take part in practice. He was once again placed on the COVID-19 reserve list last week.

NFL Rejected Saints' Sign-And-Trade Proposal For Jadeveon Clowney

Sep 6, 2020 8:43 PM

The New Orleans Saints attempted to acquire Jadeveon Clowney via a sign-and-trade, but the NFL said it would not be allowed.

The idea was for another team to sign Clowney and pay his signing bonus and then immediately trade him and his remaining salary to the Saints in exchange for a draft pick.

The other team essentially would have been "buying" a draft pick, which the NFL has never allowed.

The Saints were prepared to send a second-round pick and a player to the unspecified team.

Clowney instead signed with the Tennessee Titans.

Jadeveon Clowney, Titans Agree To One-Year, $15M Deal

Sep 6, 2020 1:33 PM

Jadeveon Clowney has agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $15 million with the Tennessee Titans.

The New Orleans Saints also aggressively pursued Clowney, but their best offer was $2 million less than the Titans.

Clowney is reuniting with Titans coach Mike Vrabel, who was his position coach and defensive coordinator when the two were with the Houston Texans.

While he had only three sacks in 13 regular-season games, Clowney ranked fifth in ESPN's pass-rush win rate (24.8%), scored two defensive touchdowns and was consistently Seattle's most disruptive defensive lineman.
