Two more Tennessee Titans players tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Titans' total now stands at 13 after the club recorded positive tests for five players and six personnel staff earlier in the week.

Tennessee's Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills could be in jeopardy if the outbreak continues and similar results are discovered this weekend, Schefter adds.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings played Tennessee last week and returned zero positives from Thursday's round of COVID-19 testing, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The NFL announced it will reschedule the Week 4 tilt between the Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers to Week 7, giving both squads a bye this Sunday.

The league also informed teams Friday that daily testing will be extended until further notice and both players and coaches are not allowed to leave their city during bye weeks, per Pelissero.

Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, pass-rusher Kamalei Correa, and rookie cornerback Kristian Fulton were among the players recently placed on the COVID-19 reserve list.

Tennessee's team facility will remain closed until further notice.
