The Vikings suspended activities at their team facility on Tuesday morning after three Titans players and five Titans staffers tested positive for COVID-19, the NFL said in a statement.

"On Tuesday morning, the Titans COVID testing results returned three new player positives and five new personnel positives," the league's statement said. "The Titans will suspend in-person activities starting today. Likewise, the Vikings, who played the Titans on Sunday, will also suspend in-person club activities. Both clubs are working closely with the NFL and NFLPA, including our infectious disease experts, to evaluate close contacts, perform additional testing and monitor developments. All decisions will be made with health and safety as our primary consideration. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available."

Tennessee beat the Vikings 31-30 at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday; the Titans announced they will have their employees work remotely on Tuesday "out of an abundance of caution."

The Vikings released a statement saying no Vikings players have tested positive since Sunday's game as of Tuesday morning.

Another article I read said that 8 Titans tested positive. The Titans are scheduled to play the Steelers next Sunday.
