If he truly cared Monday's game would have been moved.

A starting qb tested positive. You don't think many other players would get it?

You think they should base their decision on what position the guy is who gets the virus? and postpone further because of 1 guy?

NBC Denver's Mike Klis reports Sunday's Patriots/Broncos game is moving moved to Monday evening.​

Per Klis, it will be an "early Monday night game." That presumably means 7:05 PM ET like last Monday's Patriots/Chiefs tilt. This game is not quite out of the woods yet after Stephon Gilmore became the Pats' second high-profile COVID-19 positive, but we should gain clarity over the next 48 hours. Although this is not a high-wattage fantasy game, managers can for now leave their Pats and Broncos in their lineups.

I like it.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Sunday's game between the Bills and Titans is being moved to 6PM ET Tuesday.​

That, of course, is "as long as there are no more positive tests with Tennessee." The Titans have so far proven incapable of that. We certainly wouldn't consider it a given that the game happens. Anything later than Tuesday would not be feasible. For the Titans, this would mean two games in six days, though the Bills catch a break, as they are on Thursday Night Football in Week 6. Sit tight, as the Titans' weekend COVID testing will tell the tale here.

Fuck the Titans as I go against Henry in fantasy this week and can cover my Buffalo receiver if the game is cancelled.

The Bills Thursday night game 2 days after this rescheduled Tuesday game has been moved to Sunday so if TN has no positive tests between now and game time there will be no Thursday night game next week

Titans-Bills game moved from Sunday to Tuesday

The Titans-Bills game scheduled for Sunday is being moved to 7 p.m. ET Tuesday as long as there are no more positive tests from Tennessee.

The Bills' Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs is tentatively rescheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18, a source told Schefter

However, if the Titans register any more positive tests prior to Tuesday's game, the Bills-Chiefs game will revert back to its original slot on Thursday Night Football on Oct. 15.

Bills players and coaches were unsure of the league's plans throughout the week, with both coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen saying Wednesday that the team would trust whatever the league's decision would be.

Tennessee now must register no new positive tests for the next three days for its facility to open Sunday, at the earliest.

After a presumptive positive test all Jets players and coaches were sent home.....

The Bills are playing two games within 2 days. That's the most ridiculous scheduling that I have ever seen. Anyone who has played football knows that players need more time to recover. Why not extend the season?

It's already out of hand. I am starting to think they should cancel the season.

I think they should have just scheduled 12 games, acknowledging the probabilities in a realistic way.

But looks like they moved the scheduled Thursday game with the Chiefs to Sunday. Titans-Bills moves to Tuesday, Bills-Chiefs moved from Thursday to Sunday - ProFootballTalk

OK. But that means "we truly don't know" about anyone. Have to go by what they do know.

agree....you know the alarmists will be claiming a "win" for themselves, though.

True but this is the starting qb we are talking about. He's around basically everyone with close contact

I don't think they've come to that point but maybe soon if it continues think about postponing games for one week or something.
