Steelers not allowed to travel during weekend off

The Pittsburgh Steelers have an unexpected weekend off this week, with the news that their game against the Tennessee Titans would be postponed until later on in the season. Normally when players have a bye week, they're allowed time to go see family, go visit home, etc. Not the case here for Pittsburgh, as they have to stay close to home for COVID-19 testing.

Tomlin says that there will still be daily covid testing for Steelers, so players have to remain local during bye week.

I don't know why you would do that during a pandemic anyway, but here we are.

Head coach Mike Tomlin said if it comes down to it, his team would not mind playing 13 straight weeks, without another bye week when the game is rescheduled down the line.
