NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There will not be any preseason NFL games played before the start of the 2020-21 season, according to a report from the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Garafolo tweeted Tuesday evening the NFL Player's Association leadership broke the news to players on a conference call Tuesday.
The amount of proposed preseason games went from the traditional four to zero in the span of three weeks.
The latest proposal by the league was one, offered yesterday, but the NFLPA's reported announcement puts that proposal to rest.
Official confirmation from the NFL has not been announced as of Tuesday evening.
If preseason games are indeed cancelled, the first time the Titans take the field against another team will be on the road against the Denver Broncos in Week 1.
NFLPA leadership told players on a conference call a few minutes ago there will be zero preseason games this year, sources say. Not a surprise given the league offered that but now all but official, according to the union.
