The Facts: The Titans have received a six-figure fine this week for COVID-19 protocol violations -- the result of a review by the NFL and NFL Players Association, which now have turned their attention to lapses surrounding multiple positive COVID cases with the Las Vegas Raiders. A source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport the Titans have been fined $350,000 and have been told there will be escalated discipline with further instances of COVID-19 protocol violations.
Diehards Line:
No individual -- including Tennessee GM Jon Robinson and HC Mike Vrabel -- will face discipline. And despite 24 positive COVID cases that contributed to multiple disruptions to the league schedule, the Titans avoided more severe punishments the league has threatened in calls and memos to clubs, such as forfeitures or lost draft picks. The Titans fully cooperated in the review, providing documents and video and helping facilitate interviews, per sources. The review also found the club dedicated significant time and resources to get into compliance with COVID-19 protocols in the offseason and since has made additional changes to the facility. The league sent the team the findings Monday.
