In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, mass gathering in public places and events are still being prohibited in observance of safety protocols. However, Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson crossed the line and was seen at a party held in an off-campus apartment of Tennessee State University.
The Georgia product considered jumping from a second-story balcony to evade campus law-enforcement officials but changed his mind to surrender to authorities later on.
“We’re aware of the situation at TSU during a no-visitors policy and continue to stress the importance of good decision making as we go outside the facility,” coach Mike Vrabel said, via Paul Kuharsky.
“We’ve handled it internally,” General Manager Jon Robinson said.
Another trespassing incident already cost the job of another rookie in the league. Seattle Seahawks undrafted signee Kemah Siverand was recently cut from the team after he was caught trying to bring a woman disguised in Seahawks gear into the team hotel.
Wilson was apparently saved by his first-round draft status due to the fact that the Titans can't afford to abruptly release a highly-valued talent like him. However, his reckless actions may have possibly put the entire Titans camp in danger of contracting the dreaded coronavirus.
Another person at the party identified himself as Titans rookie running back Darrynton Evans. According to Kuharsky, campus police did not secure official identification from the man who claimed to be Evans. His agent also denied the claims that the player was present at the incident.
Wilson's possible violation remains hanging in the air as the number of people present at the Tennessee State off-campus party is undetermined. The NFL-NFLPA prohibition against attending house parties only limits the maximum number of people allowed to 15.
The Tennesee Titans have yet to publicly release a statement regarding the consequences that Isaiah Wilson may possibly face.
