Despite suspending team activities, both are preparing to play the upcoming weekend. According to Tom Pelissero, “the NFL is evaluating the situation,” but the Vikings are preparing to play the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans are preparing to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As of now, the #Titans–#Steelers and #Texans–#Vikings games are both on for Sunday. However, the NFL is evaluating the situation and will adjust if needed as more information is gathered. Teams are still working through contact tracing data, etc.
A lot of moving parts.

It’s also going to trigger the hell out of all the anti-football people in the media if the games happen after taking a week off from practice.
It’ll just be the latest sign that games will take place at any and all costs during the coronavirus pandemic.
