During a Zoom call with reporters on Sunday after the Tennessee Titans’ 34-3 win over the Buccaneers, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel announced he has tested positive for COVID-19. The 46-year-old Vrabel said he was tested on Sunday morning after experiencing a sore throat and an earache.

Vrabel is in his fourth season as Titans head coach and has led the Titans to the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Vrabel said he will rely on assistant coaches Jim Haslett and Jim Schwartz while he quarantines away from the team, who both have past experience as NFL head coaches, along with special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman. The Titans open their season on Sept. 12 against the Cardinals.

Vrabel said that he will receive another COVID-19 test on Monday; he will require two negative tests to avoid a 10-day quarantine.
