After their training facility was closed due to an outbreak of COVID-19, several players on the team including QB Ryan Tannehill held a private workout Montgomery Bell Academy after being forbidden by the NFL to conduct any off-campus activities.
Students at the private school said they saw a group of football players, later identified as members of the Titans.
Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky reported the following:
“A group of Titans worked out at Montgomery Bell Academy on Sept. 30 despite an NFL directive not to hold such get-togethers while team headquarters was closed because of a COVID-19 outbreak, according to sources who saw players there.
A league source said that once the Titans building was closed down on Sept. 29, the franchise was told there were to be “no in-person meetings, workout or activities at the facility or elsewhere.”
Students at the private school saw a large group of adult football players they identified as Titans working out on the school’s field during classes. Another source said he saw Ryan Tannehill there.”
The NFL has threatened serious penalties, including but not limited to potential loss of draft picks for team personnel who fail to adhere to safety guidelines.
Titans players showed defiance on social media afterwards, standing up for their teammates:
