Tennessee Titans players who dined with fully-vaccinated Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop, who has tested positive for COVID-19, have reportedly not received any positive tests for the virus this week.
The report comes from ESPN’s Turron Davenport, although he does not say specifically who the players were or when exactly the dinner occurred. The Titans and Bucs had joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday, and then a preseason game on Saturday night.
Tennessee currently has four players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and head coach Mike Vrabel announced that he had tested positive for the virus on Sunday and remains in quarantine.
According to a team source, so far none of the #Titans players that went to dinner with #Bucs K Ryan Succop have tested positive for Covid. They’ve gone through two days of testing, no positives.

The four players on the COVID-19 list are outside linebacker Harold Landry, defensive lineman Anthony Rush, linebacker Nick Dzubnar and running back Jeremy McNichols. It isn’t clear if they tested positive or were close contacts.
Vrabel told the media on Tuesday that he was feeling better after originally having a sore throat and ear ache. He will need two negative tests in a 48-hour span in order to rejoin the team.
Tennessee has begun taking extra precaution, which includes mandating masks for players, coaches and staff inside the building.
Tennessee will play its final preseason game on Saturday night against the Chicago Bears.
