The Vikings had no positive test results Wednesday and were preparing to reopen their building Thursday, with a game Sunday at Houston. Other Titans are home hoping no more positive results turn up and that they themselves don't test positive even as they attempt to keep their family members safe.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro made clear he won't let the fight against racial injustice recede from the conversation even as Tennessee returned to practice Friday. I know for me, the next step is just taking action, getting in the communities, being a shining light and an example, Vaccaro said.

Asked if sitting out a regular-season game has been discussed, Vaccaro said the Titans haven't planned that far ahead.
