As much personal disgust as Xi Jinping is purported to have with the nouveau riche, it certainly hasn’t prevented his extended family from becoming wealthy. That said, no clear link between government corruption and the immediate family of Xi Jinping has been made.
See this exposé of his family’s wealth Bloomberg did a few years ago:

Edit: corrected spelling and added info from deleted comment below, which I found really helpful: Panama papers show Xi Jinping is actually very wealthy despite his humble public persona.
Federal agents are searching multiple Republican state lawmakers' offices at the Tennessee legislative office building Friday morning.
At least five agents from the FBI entered the Cordell Hull building at 8 a.m., fanning out to multiple offices carrying empty boxes with them.
An agent could be heard telling a facilities manager that the FBI was executing search warrants.
An agent stood guard outside the office of Rep. Glen Casada, R-Franklin, the former House speaker who resigned from the position in 2019 following a vote of no-confidence from the House Republican Caucus.
Agents were also posted outside of the office of Rep. Robin Smith, R-Hixson, and Rep. Kent Calfee, R-Kingston.
A spokesperson for the FBI referred comments to the office of Don Cochran, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
David Boling, spokesman for Cochran, said the could not yet comment on the matter, other than to acknowledge agents' presence at the building.
Doug Kufner, a spokesperson for House Speaker Cameron Sexton, did not respond to a request for comment about FBI activity in the building. A receptionist in Sexton's office Friday said they would speak to the matter later.
Neither Casada nor Smith immediately returned requests for comment.
Calfee said he wasn't aware that agents were in his office.
"I didn't have a clue," Calfee said. "I hadn't heard."

do you remember when Obama refused to condemn the black lives matter cop killer that he inspired? And instead he chose to continue his anti cop rhetoric at the cops funeral?
Also if you add outline.com/ in front of any article it removes ads, clutter, and paywalls. Like this http://outline.com/link
I use a chrome extension that allows me to write custom javascript for certain websites. So whenever I visit a link to the independent, I automatically get redirected to the outline.com version of the article. This creates a much better user experience.
For those interested, here is the little snippet of code:
if(window.location.host !== "outline.com"){
window.location.replace(http://outline.com/${window.location.host}.${window.location.pathname});
}
I also use it for a couple of other news sites.
Another solution is outline.com. I use it all the time for news articles like this.
All you do is add the URL of the news article to the end of the outline.com URLand it will get the article for you without ads or any other crap.

A $65 million economic grant was approved by state leaders to help Oracle Corp. with its move to Nashville.
The State Funding Board unanimously cleared the way for the funds to be released from the FastTrack Economic Development Fund on Tuesday.
The fund is designed to "offset costs companies incur when expanding or locating a business" in Tennessee.
The money can be spent on Oracle's $1.2 billion campus in development along the east bank of the Cumberland River.
The grant is "only used in exceptional cases where the impact of the company on a given community is significant," according to a state economic development statement.
Oracle paid $254 million for 60 acres of land directly across the river from downtown, in East Nashville. The software leader is building a second U.S. headquarters to match its new offices in Austin, after leaving California last year.
The company is fronting Metro Nashville $175 million to build a new pedestrian bridge across the river and other infrastructure to modernize that part of the riverfront. In exchange, the Oracle will get a discount on property taxes until the funds are repaid.
Oracle has promised to create 8,500 high-paid jobs and deliver millions of dollars a year in taxes.

Authorities reported Tuesday that Jordan Gorman, who was missing from Cheatham County, was found.
Jordan, 9, went missing from his Joelton home on Sunday. He was found Tuesday afternoon, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation tweeted.
More information will be shared soon, the agency said.
Authorities worked Monday to piece together a timeline of Jordan's disappearance and learn what prompted the boy to leave home.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a statewide AMBER Alert Monday morning as authorities urged Cheatham County residents to search their yards, outbuildings and crawl spaces for the boy.
The search pulled multiple agencies out as they combed the rugged terrain full of rolling hills and steep dropoffs. Jordan went missing while only wearing a t-shirt and was barefoot as temperatures dove into the 30s.
Joelton is an unincorporated community about 17 miles from Nashville.

The Rotier's Restaurant cheeseburger on French bread is nearly as Nashville iconic as hot chicken.
Starting tonight (May 21), Predators fans and anyone else going to a Bridgestone Arena events will be able to get one for the first time in 14 months.
The arena will debut its Rotier's burger stand serving only cheeseburgers, chips, beer and soft drinks for the Predators' first playoffs home game this year.
The move revives, even if in a limited way, one of Nashville's longest-running and best-known restaurants.

"We wanted to reach out and see if theres a way to keep that iconic hamburger place alive," said David Kells, executive VP for entertainment and venues for Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators.
The beloved meat-and-three, fatally wounded by last year's pandemic restrictions, announced earlier this year it was permanently closing its Vanderbilt University-area spot.
Rotier's general manager Jacob Crouse, the third generation member of the Rotier's family to run the restaurant, said he's excited to see what happens with the arena stand.
"I've been down there every day this week," Crouse said, adding that longtime employees Gene "Eddie" Cartwright and Pam Howse will join him in the arena.
"Its going to be a good thing," Crouse said. "Its just one item, so it should be simple. One good burger and we do it right.
"If it works out, therell be a future down there."

Nashville Armory and Franklin Range, two prominent businesses for Middle Tennessee firearm owners, have a new owner. Joey DeGraw, co-owner of the Nashville Underground honky-tonk in downtown Nashville, announced Thursday that he purchased both properties.
The armory and range have such a deep rooted history in Nashville, and I am thrilled to have a part in their next chapter," DeGraw said in a news release. "The opportunity to purchase these Nashville staples was irresistible."
DeGraw co-owns Nashville Underground with his brother, musician Gavin DeGraw. The 55,000 square foot bar in Nashville's Lower Broadway tourist area added a bowling alley in summer 2021, and the news release said the brothers aim to expand their entertainment portfolio in Middle Tennessee.

Nashville Armory is located at 4290 Kenilwood Drive in Nashville. In 2017, Nashville Armory purchased the former Everything Weapons building at 390 Southwinds Drive in Franklin and opened Franklin Range, their second Middle Tennessee range. Both facilities offer retail space, firearm classes and indoor shooting ranges.
DeGraw said through a spokesperson that the combined sale price for the two properties was around $5 million.

A Nashville councilmember on Tuesday filed a resolution to end emissions testing in Davidson County.
"I filed a resolution today to end emissions testing in Davidson County," District 14 Council Member Kevin Rhoten posted on Twitter. "The EPA has given Davidson and its surrounding counties the green light to end testing. All counties except Davidson have all decided to end their programs. It's time we do the same."
In August the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation announced that vehicle emissions testing in five counties will end early next year after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved a revision to the states air quality plan.
EPAs approval, which was published in the Federal Register on Aug. 17 and becomes effective on Sept. 16, means vehicle emissions testing will end Jan. 14 in Hamilton, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties.
Davidson County chose to continue its testing program, TDEC reported.

I posted this as a response to another comment, but want to make sure you see it as well.
>It's pretty simple. If you live within the city limits of Chattanooga, your city taxes pay for the Chattanooga Library.
>Since you feel so passionately about it, please reach out to your county commissioner to request for them to contribute some county taxes to the library budget again. Ten years ago, Hamilton County residents could get a Chattanooga library card. The county contributed some of their budget towards the library, but due to politics, they pulled funding, leaving the city to take over full funding. That is when the city and the library implemented the $50 fee for county residents.
When The Tennessean visited the freshly constructed Brooklyn Bowl Nashville in March of 2020, workers were still busy putting the final touches on the music venue, restaurant and bowling alley, which was set to open two days later.
They ended up with plenty of time. Before we left the building that day, their team had decided not to open that weekend, as the emerging coronavirus threat grew by the minute in the U.S.
15 months later, the wait is nearly over. Brooklyn Bowl Nashville will mark its grand opening with two concerts by Old Crow Medicine Show on Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26.
Tickets are $49.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. CT Friday, June 4.
Audiences have had plenty of opportunity to see the venue's stage in action just not in person over the last year. They've hosted several dozen livestreams for a paying audience, including concerts by Jason Isbell, Margo Price and Billy Strings, so the production team has had more than a year's experience making the room look and sound its best.
General Manager Sara Barnett told The Tennessean the team is "very excited" to get back to the work they were gearing up for 15 months ago, and promised there's "lots more to come" in terms of show announcements.
The concert calendar already features 25 previously announced or rescheduled shows, including stops by Madison Beer, Dinosaur Jr. and Lucy Daucus. See the full list and more information at www.brooklynbowl.com/nashville/shows.

Raising Cane's is opening another Nashville location, this time on Lower Broadway.
The Baton Rouge fried chicken chain will take over a two-story space at 208 Broadway, according to a permit filed with the Nashville Metro Codes Department. The space is currently occupied by Redneck Riviera Bar & BBQ and the Honky Tonk Party Express Bus office.
Raising Cane's announced its first Nashville location at 36 White Bridge Rd. earlier in August. That location will open in early 2022, according to a spokesperson.
Currently, the only Raising Cane's location in Tennessee is located near the University of Tennessee's campus in Knoxville.
Raising Cane's expansion in Tennessee comes as Huey Magoo's and Whataburger also announced Nashville locations slated to open in the next year or two. Guy Fieri's Chicken Guy! also recently opened in downtown Nashville.

Amazon customers just got even more options for same-day delivery in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. The company said a new "mini-fulfillment center" will allow customers to receive their items in as few as five hours after ordering.
"We see this being really great for people who live within Nashville, that they can more easily and quickly get the things they need and want faster than ever," Amazon spokesperson Robin Handaly said. "They now will have access to four different windows throughout the day to be able to order and get the things that they want."
Amazon's airport facility at 10 Dell Parkway opened in March and stocks three million unique items, from dog food to health and beauty products to books and toys. While many of these items were available for same-day delivery, the new facility allows customers to choose from one of four time periods for delivery. Orders placed by 8 a.m., for example, will arrive by 1 p.m. that same day. An order placed at midnight will arrive by 8 a.m. the next day.
"Sometimes, you run into that situation where you're getting ready for bed at night (and) you've used your last bit of toothpaste," Handaly said. "You can then place an order before midnight and get your toothpaste at your front door by 8 o'clock the next morning."
The service is free to Amazon Prime members for orders totaling $35 or more. Prime orders of less than $35 can still have the faster delivery option for a $2.99 per-order fee, and non-Prime members can access the service for $12.98 per order.

Two students were injured, one critically, in a stabbing at Overton High School on Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The stabbing was reported at 1 p.m. at the school at 4820 Franklin Pike, the Metro Nashville Police Department reported.
Nashville Fire Department spokesman Joseph Pleasant said crews responded to the school to assist an injured student and transported one student to Monroe Carell Children's Hospital in critical condition.
An additional student was also injured, Pleasant said, and was transported to General Hospital with a minor injury.
A student is in custody in connection to the stabbing, police reported.
The incident occurred inside the school, Metro Nashville Public Schools officials said.
The school has been placed in lockdown, and families of the students involved have been notified, according to district spokesperson Sean Braisted.
The incident follows another incident of a potential threat at Hillsboro High School on Monday.
Around 11:35 a.m. on Monday, Hillsboro High school leaders received an emailed threat from a student. The school was placed in a lockout protocol and the school resource officer was immediately notified, Braisted said in an email Tuesday.

Former Memphis TV news anchor Marius Payton said he feels comfortable coming to Channel 4 despite the station's recent history of controversial moves.
"Have they had bumps in the road? Yes, they have," Payton, 51, told the Tennessean. "But theyre doing good things."
Payton replaces 14-year WMSV anchor Tom Randles, who left in September after he and Channel 4 could not agree to terms on a new contract.
Payton is set to co-anchor Channel 4's evening newscasts with Tracy Kornet and Lauren Lowrey starting Jan. 26, news director Mitch Jacob said.
Payton said he did his homework on WSMV before accepting the job, adding he is aware of recent layoffs as well as the age and gender discrimination lawsuits from former on-air personalities, including longtime anchor Demetria Kalodimos.
"I asked[station leaders]what they were going to do to make things right in the community," Payton said.
"Their answers told me we both were on the right path with this partnership. I feel comfortable they're doing the right things."
Payton comes from a television station in Raleigh, N.C. Before that, he worked from 2015 to 2018 at Fox 13 Memphis, where his reporting helped find a 12-year-old girl who'd been lured away from her parents into sex trafficking.
Payton said he hopes to be at WSMV for at least 10 years and then retire in Nashville.

The Metro Nashville Police Department will create a dedicated team of officers to monitor Broadway for people violating the city's face mask mandate.
Although the department first announced that they'd begin enforcing the order on July 3, they haven't issued any citations, a department spokesperson said.
The department tweeted that they'd begin enforcing the mask mandate on Wednesday after consulting with Mayor John Cooper and the Metro Health Department.
The decision came after a recently released heat map showed a high concentration of active coronavirus cases downtown that showed the virus was spreading among patrons of popular bars and crowded honky-tonks.
Lower Broadway, a tourist attraction, has drawn droves of unmasked people visiting businesses and entertainment venues amid the coronavirus pandemic as the city has moved forward in its phased reopening plan.
Health officials said that a spike in Nashville coronavirus cases could be linked to downtown bars, which prompted Cooper to initially re-close bars for two weeks, which he later extended until at least July 31.
The Metro Health Department has issued 48 civil warrants to businesses whose employees were not complying with the citys mask order.
As of Tuesday, there are at least 5,436 active coronavirus cases in Davidson County. The positivity rate is around 19%, meaning that nearly one in five Nashvillians who receive a coronavirus test are testing positive.

After 25 years as the announcer for the "Grand Ole Opry," Eddie Stubbs just made another big announcement: he's retiring.
Stubbs broke the news Tuesday night on Nashville's famed radio station WSM, where he's made weeknight broadcasts since 1996. His last day with WSM which also broadcasts the Opry is July 29.
"Were grateful for the knowledge, wisdom, and passion he has shared with fans of country music near and far," WSM said on its social media channels.
Stubbs, 58, became the "Opry" announcer in 1995 amazingly, just three months after he moved to Nashville to play fiddle for Kitty Wells and Johnnie Wright.
Along with his unmistakable voice, he's been celebrated for his encyclopedic knowledge of country music, and appeared in Ken Burns' 2019 docuseries covering the genre.
His stint at the "Opry" is the third longest in the radio show's 84-year history. WSM says it will be celebrating his career for the next two weeks, playing archived interviews and past studio visits from country stars.
Others, including fellow WSM DJ Bill Cody, have served as "Opry" announcers along with Stubbs in recent years. The station says it will soon announce plans for the 7 p.m. - midnight shift, while Jeff Hoag will serve as host in the interim.

The Titans and Derrick Henry are not expeccted to reach agreement on a long-term extension by Wednesday's deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Titans placed the franchise tag on Henry earlier this offseason, ensuring he'd be with the team this season. But they had until Wednesday to find common ground on a multiyear extension, something both sides expressed interest in.
Instead, Henry is set to make $10.27 million this season after signing his franchise tender in May and become a free agent next offseason.
Henry, 26, is coming off his first Pro Bowl season. In 2019 for the Titans, he led the league with 1,540 rushing yards while serving as the engine for the Tennessee offense. With 446 more rushing yards in three playoff games, he played a vital role in the Titans' advancing to the AFC championship game for the first time since the 2002 season.
At the NFL Scouting Combine in late February, Titans general manager Jon Robinson was asked about his philosphy when it comes to handing out second contracts to running backs, who generally are one of the more replaceable marquee positions.
"I think any time, really with any player, when you do a deal, regardless of the position, if the player works out, it looks great," Robinson said. "If it doesnt work out, then I look like an idiot. Thats the way it goes. Thats what I signed up for. Regardless of the position -- you asked about running back -- I think if we get something done with Derrick, I think he has a great career, which we expect him to, and he continues to build on the foundation that hes laid here for us, it would be good for all of us."

We have to understand monetizing the web is hard. People expect shit to be free on the internet and that isn't always the case. Websites have to pay writers, pay this or that. You can disagree, but then you contribute to the problem by forcing those same website to use sponsored content such as articles paid by corporations or have sponsored this or that because readers won't allow ads or banners.
for a lot of such websites you can add "outline.com" before the url and it'll just give you the text. works for most paywalls too!
After 60 years in Music City, Pancake Pantry is expanding with a second location in downtown Nashville. The Nashville breakfast spot is set to open at the Hyatt Centric Hotel in November, meaning long lines and short stacks will soon be walking distance from Lower Broadway.
"We are so excited to bring this Nashville tradition to the heart of the city and offer even greater access to our world-famous scratch-made pancakes for locals and visitors," managing partner Chip Bradley wrote in an Instagram post announcing the new restaurant.
Robert Baldwin founded Pancake Pantry's original location in 1961. Members of the Baldwin family owned the restaurant for 56 years before selling the restaurant to Crosby Keltner, a longtime manager at Red Pony in Franklin, in 2017.
The restaurant moved to a larger location in Hillsboro Village in 1994, and that location will stay open along with the new Hyatt Centric location.
Pancake Pantry's notoriety has grown as Nashville has become both a tourist destination and an expanding urban area over the past decade. The shop is known both for its scratch-made pancakes and its perpetually long line of local residents and out-of-town visitors.

A Metro Nashville Police Department officer indicted on rape and sexual battery charges turned himself in to law enforcement Thursday.
Officer Jeremy Arrington, 26, who has been with the department for two years, was indicted Thursday by a Davidson County grand jury on 12 charges related to the reported rape of a 25-year-old woman who visited him at his apartment on April 6 while he was off duty.
The woman reported the alleged assault in May. The department's sex crimes unit began investigating, as did the Office of Professional Accountability, a department news release said. The OPA investigation remains open.
During the investigation, Arrington was placed on desk duty and taken off the midnight shift at the Central Precinct.
Arrington is being held on a $25,000 bond.

Swedish furniture company IKEA announced it's piloting its first U.S. pick-up point location in Nashville.
The retailer's customers can shop products online and and pick them up at a location in the area.
"At IKEA U.S., were on a journey to transform our business to meet our customers wherever they are and however they like to shop," the company said in an emailed statement. "We are continuously testing, exploring and developing our formats to bring our customers the best shopping experiences possible."
"We are currently piloting the service with existing IKEA customers in the greater Nashville area, and we look forward to sharing more details of our new customer meeting point in 2022," the statement said.
IKEA had planned to open a store in Antioch back in 2018, which was once considered key to the community's future expansion, but the retailer ultimately decided against it.
At some pick-up locations in Canada, IKEA charges a flat-rate shipping fee of $39 to $99 depending on the site. Customers can order a couch, or an entire kitchen for the same delivery rate.
At other Canadian pick-up sites, the shipping price is measured by the order's weight.
The company said more details regarding a new customer meeting point in the greater Nashville area would be announced later in 2022.

Shame hunting doesn't actually work as population control for these things. From (this natgeo piece)[http://outline.com/4m77xc]:
> To eradicate hogs, their population must drop 60 to 80 percent each year. In a busy year, recreational hunters kill only about 24 percent. Meanwhile, healthy sows can birth three litters of 10 piglets every year.
And that's ignoring the fact that hunting just scatters the populations, makes them a lot more skittish, and trains them to become nocturnal...

A large traffic collision involving as many as 20 vehicles has shut down traffic on eastbound I-24 near Hickory Hollow Parkway, according to the Nashville Metro Police Department.
The collision appears to have occurred shortly before 8 a.m.. It has stopped all traffic on I-24 and slowed nearby traffic on portions of Old Hickory Boulevard as of 9 a.m., according to an update published by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Traffic appears to be impacted for a five-mile span of I-24, according to agency maps.
A police dispatcher confirmed Saturday morning that injuries have been reported at the pileup, but it is not yet clear how severe they are. The dispatcher said the collision involves definitely more than 10, and possibly as many as 20 vehicles.
The Nashville Fire Department dispatched at least 15 emergency vehicles in response to the traffic collision, according to the agency's incident log.
Drivers should avoid the area. This story is breaking and will be updated soon.

General thinking is that Xi can't stand down, because he's made far too many factional enemies within the government from his anti-corruption purges early in his tenure.
I used to think this was just him being ornery, but then I read a recent Foreign Policy report that the CIA had apparently thoroughly infiltrated the CCP during Hu Jintao's administration. So thoroughly, in fact, that CIA dollars were being used by CCP members to pay their customary bribes to allow them to advance within party politics.
If true, this then implies that Xi's draconian measures may actually have had some degree of rationality behind them. Which would be doubly ironic, since it would mean that CIA activity is a causal factor for 1) Xi's heavy handed crackdown, and 2) Xi's subsequent removal of term limits as a self preservation measure.
Which brings us to the far future possibility of 3) eventual degradation of Xi's rule past his effectiveness as an autocrat (and narrowing of his rule to merely benefit his own narrow coterie of interest groups).
If true, it not only means that the CIA was partially responsible for his early purge, it also brings up the intriguing possibility that the CIA may directly cause a dictator-for-life situation in China, with all the attendant long term chaos that implies.
Metro Nashville police and fire crews are investigating a report of a suspicious package at a West Nashville Walmart.

At the scene, police had a perimeter set up around the building and authorities were asking people to avoid the area.

Officials are on the scene trying to put out the fire and see if anyone is inside the building.
The fire department confirmed a bomb squad was on the scene with an active investigation by Metro police and federal agenices.
Police said the incident was linked to a vehicle parked outside the Melting Pot and investigators said an RV was involved.
There were initial reports of structural damage but no immediate information on whether any people were injured.
Images and videos taken in the area showed flames and smoke which could also be seen from miles away. Alarms inside several buildings were heard going off with water pouring into some buildings with structural damage and broken windows.
Trees lining Second Avenue were blacken from the incident.

The colder months mean that outdoor and patio seating is going to get a little chillier. At the same time, it's important to practice social distancing to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Many Nashville restaurants are offering heated outdoor and patio seating so you can get a meal away from home while minimizing your time indoors.
If you're going to check out these restaurants, remember to tip and social distance when interacting with staff, wear a mask and limit your group to people inside your immediate household. Call ahead to make sure each restaurant is offering its heated outdoor seating ahead of your visit.

Nashville might see a bit of snow Monday morning, but there's "not a great chance," National Weather Service Meteorologist Marc Rose said.
Nashville is most likely to see a bit of snow early Monday or late Sunday, Rose said, while temperatures are still cool.
There will be practically no accumulation since temps have been on the warmer side, so any flakes will likely melt after falling, Rose said.
The NWS said the flurries will be a mix of snow and rain as showers pelt Nashville Sunday.
Overnight Sunday isn't the region's only shot at snow, though.
Another system similar to Sunday's looks to be on its way to the area Thursday. Things could change, forecasters said, but " the first week of December might be an active one."
Saturday: Sunny. High: 57 Low: 36
Sunday: Rainy. High: 58 Low: 35
Monday: Cloudy. High: 41 Low: 25

Republican activist Charlie Kirk is scheduled to speak in Mt. Juliet at Global Vision Bible Church for a Sunday service at 10:30 a.m., Oct. 25.
Kirk, who just turned 27, is the outspoken founder and president of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth activist organization. Kirk, who spoke at Republican National Convention, is also well-known as a writer and has 1.8 million followers on Twitter.
Greg Locke is the pastor at Global Vision Bible Church. Locke and Kirk are friends through different speaking engagements they've both been at around the country, the pastor said.
He is very gospel centered and will have a good mix of politics and Jesus discussion, Locke said about Kirk. As far as Im concerned the stakes have never been higher. So were going to be louder. We feel if we dont deal with politics we wont have a platform to preach the gospel and to be a church. To me there is no separation between the two.
Locke recently invited Republican operative Roger Stone to speak at Global Vision in August.
The church was vandalized with spray-painted messages that referenced Stone's visit the weekend before he spoke at the church.
Locke is on the advisory committee for Evangelicals for Trump, which supports the president. Locke was invited to and attended Trumps live acceptance speech for the GOP presidential nomination at the White House.
The pastor is outspoken on multiple social issues and has a large social media following.

For the sixth straight day, at least one Titans player has returned a positive COVID-19 test.
Another two members of the Titans one player and one team personnel tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Since Sept. 24, the Titans now have returned 20 positive tests, including 10 players and 10 team personnel.
The outbreak, the first to hit an NFL team, forced the league to reshuffle part of its schedule. The Titans and Steelers now are on their open week, and their Week 7 game will be played at noon on Oct. 25.
Now the question is if the mounting number of cases affects the Titans' Oct. 11 home game against the Buffalo Bills. The team's facility has been closed since Tuesday and will reopen only after a period where experts are convinced there's no COVID-19 transmission, NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills said Thursday, according to NFL Network.
The list of Titans players who have been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list since Sept. 24 includes:
- long snapper Beau Brinkley
- tight end Tommy Hudson (practice squad)
- outsideline backer Kamalei Correa
- cornerback Kristian Fulton
- cornerback Greg Mabin (practice squad)
- wide receiver Adam Humphries
- wide receiver Cam Batson
- defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons

NASHVILLE The Titans on Friday had at least one player return a positive COVID-19 test for the fourth straight day.
Two more Titans players tested positive for the coronavirus, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Friday morning. The Titans now have had 13 positive tests in the past week, including seven players and six team personnel.
The outbreak, the first to hit an NFL team, forced the NFL to postpone Sunday's originally scheduled game between the Titans and Steelers until later in the season. Now the question is if the mounting number of cases affects team's Oct. 11 home game against the Buffalo Bills.
Titans coach Mike Vrabel on Wednesday said some of those who tested positive are dealing with flu-like symptoms. A few are starting to feel better, he said Thursday.
VRABEL:Players were shocked... but understood. All of a sudden, the Titans are on a bye week
The Titans' COVID-19 troubles began Saturday, when Titans outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen tested positive for the virus. He did not travel with the team to Minnesota for their Week 3 game.
On Tuesday, five team personnel and three players defensive lineman DaQuan Jones, long snapper Beau Brinkley and practice squad tight end Tommy Hudson also tested positive. Then, on Wednesday, one more player, outside linebacker Kamalei Correa, also tested positive. Rookie cornerback Kristian Fulton returned a positive test on Thursday.
The NFL then announced that the Titans-Steelers game originally scheduled for Sunday had been postponed until Monday or Tuesday before a Thursday announcement pushed it back even further.

Sutton was among several people laid off at the station as part of parent company Meredith Corporation's nationwide "cost-control" measures.
A beloved media personality in Nashville since 2001, Sutton co-hosted News4's midday show since 2016. Sutton declined comment Wednesday.
Longtime weekend anchor Alan Frio also was laid off as part of Meredith's cost-cutting moves last week.
The layoffs, spokeswoman Kara Kelly said in an email to the Tennessean, "are always difficult to make, and we will miss our colleagues."

High school football has taken a step toward getting back under the Friday night lights for Metro Nashville Public Schools.
Metro schools have been approved to start contact drills beginning today, but games have not yet been approved, Metro schools spokesman Sean Braisted told The Tennessean on Friday morning.
"We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 metrics to make further determinations regarding starting, continuing or adjusting practice, games and competitions," Braisted wrote in an email. "All extra-curricular social distancing guidelines and precautions must be followed. In alignment with our phase-in approach for in-person learning, we will begin to phase in extracurricular activities as long as conditions allow."
TSSAA rules state that athletes must have 10 days of high school football contact drills before they are permitted to play in a game.
The announcement comes after Metro schools director Adrienne Battle told school leaders that sports would be postponed until further notice on Aug. 25. Battle had originally said high school seasons would be postponed until after Labor Day at the earliest. However, Nashville football teams have not been able to hold contact drills.
Currently, Metro Nashville and Shelby County Schools are the only school systems in Tennessee that haven't announced a return to high school sports. Davidson County's phased-in announcement comes as COVID-19 active cases have steadily decline in recent weeks. The county had 984 active cases as of Friday and 248 deaths.

A search is underway in Hickman County by local, state and federal law enforcement for evidence in the case of a Nashville girl who went missing from her bus stop 17 years ago.
The Metro Nashville police Cold Case-Homicide detectives, Urban Search & Rescue officers and FBI agents are searching a rural part of the county for Tabitha Tuders.
Hickman County is located about 60 miles southwest of Nashville and during the last census, just under 25,000 people lived there.
According to Metro police, Tabitha was walking to a bus stop in 2003, just blocks from her home on Lillian Street in East Nashville, when she disappeared.
The girl, age 13 at the time, has not been seen or heard from since.
Recent information led investigators to Hickman County, Metro police tweeted.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the girl's recovery and the prosecution of anyone responsible for her disappearance.

A Nashville-based research firm that will begin studying potential coronavirus vaccines in mid-August is seeking volunteers.
Clinical Research Associates is seeking nearly 4,000 volunteers for vaccine trials. The FDA-regulated research is part of the Operation Warp Speed program, a news release says, a federal initiative to create a COVID-19 vaccine and deliver 300 million doses by January.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health care systems, damaged families and communities, and caused significant socioeconomic impacts. We now have an opportunity to fight back and return to normalcy with help from a vaccine. Healthy Nashvillians can contribute by volunteering to participate in a clinical trial, Linda Schipani, CEO of Clinical Research Associates, said in a news release.
The Nashville firm was chosen due to the city's high infection rate, the release says. The research is a Phase 3 and has already completed two prior phases.
People who are 18 years or older and generally healthy are eligible to volunteer for the trial.
Volunteers will visit Clinical Research Associates on Church Street to receive an initial dose of the potential vaccine or placebo. After receiving the first dose, the patient will be monitored for 15 minutes and receive instructions on how to track progress.
The patients will be monitored for two years and will check in periodically for in-person visits, phone calls and via app.
If interested in participating, sign up by visiting covidnashville.com, emailing , or by calling 615-329-2222. Patients who participate will be compensated for their time, and volunteers will undergo additional medical screening for safety.

Nashville city officials on Tuesday signaled an intent to criminally prosecute the organizers of a large house party that brazenly violated public health orders intended to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
City Law Director Bob Cooper said violations of the citys mask mandate and gathering limitations could be punished as a Class-C misdemeanor and up to 30 days in jail. Cooper said law enforcement and city officials are investigating the house party and encouraged anyone with information that might be useful to this investigation to file a report on the citys dedicated coronavirus website.
If the investigation shows that the organizers of Saturday nights event violated these orders, the district attorneys office, in consultation with Metro legal, will pursue all available remedies, Cooper said.
Photos and video show that hundreds of people attended the "Fashion House" house party, held Saturday night at a home on Fern Avenue in East Nashville. Attendees largely did not wear masks, and the home appears to have been so crowded that proper social distancing was essentially impossible.

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, has canceled its 2020 edition, after initially postponing the event three months due to COVID-19 concerns.
"Our annual time together on the Farm is nothing short of magical," reads a message posted Thursday on the festival's official site.
"But out of an abundance of caution and for the health and safety of all Bonnaroovians, artists, staff, partners and our community, this is a necessary reality. More information on lineup, camping and accommodations will be available at a later date."
The festival will return June 17-20, 2021, when Bonnaroo celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Since 2002, the festival has taken place annually in June, welcoming up to 80,000 attendees to Manchester's Great Stage Park.
Tickets for Bonnaroo 2020 sold out in record time more than three months ahead of its originally scheduled dates in June. Booked performers included Lizzo, Tool, Tame Impala, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey.
In mid-March, the festival postponed its June dates to September.

One month after it reopened with new safety precautions, Nashville comedy club Zanies will keep its doors closed for the next week and a half.
The move comes after comedian D.L. Hughley collapsed during a performance last Friday at the club. He subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.
In an email to customers Wednesday, Zanies says it has rescheduled Rob Schneider's performances originally set for this weekend and will remain closed through July 4.
"Were using this time to organize tests for any of our folks who feel they may have been at risk" the email reads. "And to simply take a smart time out to be safe and sure."
Schneider's shows will now take place August 20-23. Tickets will immediately be transferred to the new dates, but those unable to attend can contact the box office for refunds at 615-269-0221.
Zanies Nashville, which opened in 1983, resumed shows on May 15, and have hosted performances by Adam Carolla and Nate Bargatze in recent weeks. Next month, David Spade, Nikki Glaser and Taylor Tomlinson are among those booked to perform at the club.

Starting Wednesday night, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will begin opening all lanes of the newly reconstructed Interstate 440.
The move comes one month ahead of schedule for the largest project in TDOT history, according to the department.
The contractor, Kiewit Infrastructure South Co., will be removing traffic cones and construction signs from the roadway this week.
The I-440 corridor will be fully open July 2.
In lieu of a ribbon-cutting ceremony, TDOT will be hosting a caravan event on July 2 to celebrate the roadway opening. Details will be released at a later date, the department announced.
The $154.8 million project features a new asphalt roadway which replaces the deteriorated concrete; three travel lanes in each direction plus auxiliary lanes; new lighting; new color overhead message boards; new landscaping; and ramp safety improvements at the 21st Avenue and Murphy Avenue exits.
The I-440 Reconstruction Project was one of 962 critical transportation projects included in the 2017 IMPROVE Act legislation.
