Extra day of testing results. Plus gives more time to be sure that someone else doesn't present with symptoms after incubation period.

Don't think it has much to do with testing and more to do with practice time. Titans are reopening the facility Saturday according to sources, don't know how a league could give a team 24hrs to prepare for a game. They can practice Sat/Sun now, maybe even Monday walk through if they give them until Tuesday. That'll be a full week.

This all hinges on no or minimally more positive tests though. Sure they're already being tested every day.

No it’s probably more testing. 
 

The issue is if some people were positive Sat, they were with the team all Sunday and possibly Monday (not sure if they practiced Monday or had meetings). It’s not going to show up in tests for a couple days. It’s very likely some people won’t know they have it until tomorrow or Friday. You can’t bring the team back together without being sure. And if you have a hand Sunday and one person was missed by testing..... you risk being in a worse situation next week. 
 

In fact I don’t think people realize how lucky we are that it happened right after a game and not in the middle of a week

Should the Titans just take the L? I almost think it'd be better than having to scramble a practice, play a game, then go into a real quick week to play Sunday. Throws the whole rhythm off and doesn't give players bodies time to recuperate between games.

It's really no different then a team turning around from a Sunday game and playing on Thursday.

That would be a satisfying conclusion for literally nobody.

What exactly is the extra 24-48 hours supposed to do here? What is the threshold they're trying to reach?

If the Titans aren’t practicing until they get a handle on this I’d imagine it’s to prevent a game where one team had a normal week of preparation and the other had one or no practices.
