Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Dennis Kelly has been hunkered down with his family in the Indianapolis area since the birth of
his third daughter a month ago. He has been self-isolating before the spread of COVID-19.
”We’re already kind of in a self-imposed quarantine on our own, because with a new baby and not having shots and everything like
that, especially with it being winter and how bad the flu was this year,” said Kelly, one of hundreds of NFL players who are self-isolating while the league sorts through what’s next. ”We’re in week four already of kind of being separated. For most of society, obviously it’s even more extreme.”
Ryan Tannehill, who received a four-year, $118 million contract from Tennessee this week, normally would be busy lining up workouts with wide receivers to start honing their chemistry and timing.
”Guys getting on planes right now is not a good situation,” said Tannehill, who is also doing some personal training while sticking around the house with his two children and enjoying more home-cooking by his wife, Lauren. ”… Hopefully as a nation we can kind of get this thing turned around, flatten the curve sort to speak, and start moving forward.”
