So, how does remote football practice work?
From @Titans “Out of the abundance of caution, the organization has decided to work remotely today as we follow NFL protocols related to the Covid-19 virus. Several tests have come back positive and are working through the process of confirming them. We will have more info tmrw”

According to reports, the facility is shut down until Saturday:
A league source just texted me: "We are shutting Tennessee down until Saturday"
That means no Titans coaches or players can be in the building.— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) September 29, 2020
