Dianna Russini is reporting that multiple sources have told her that the game scheduled for Sunday between the Titans and Steelers will be postponed:
Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Titans is being postponed per multiple sources. They are considering all options to reschedule, Monday night as one of them. This will all be based on test results.

Note here that there is a difference between cancelled and postponed. They are still planning on playing the game as of now - just not on Sunday. Russini mentions there that Monday night is a possibility. Tuesday night is probably in play as well. They couldn’t go any later in the week than Tuesday.
Yesterday it was floated that the Titans and Steelers could both take their bye weeks this week with a couple of games flipped later in the schedule. That would be easy enough for this week, but what happens next week if two teams have the same issue? The NFL probably doesn’t want to set that precedent in case they are dealing with multiple teams later in the season.
As with everything surrounding COVID, we are left with more questions than answers. Check back for updates.
