The Baltimore Ravens already have six players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after an outbreak of the virus. However, as expected, more will be added to the list in the coming days as people continue to test positive and contact tracing is done.
After running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram tested positive on Monday, the team has also placed Brandon Williams and Pernell McPhee on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Dan Graziano, Matt Skura, Patrick Mekari, and Calais Campbell have also tested positive, as well as several coaches.
With the outbreak clearly not contained yet, that means the Ravens won’t be playing on Thanksgiving after all. The NFL has postponed the game until Sunday afternoon. Per the NFL’s protocols, any players that test positive today would be held out for a minimum of 10 days, meaning they would not only miss this week’s game but next week as well.
If Skura, Mekari, and Campbell have either tested positive or were tagged during contact tracing as a close contact, that would mean Baltimore will be without two defensive linemen, two running backs, a starting outside linebacker, and both its starting and backup center on Sunday against Pittsburgh.
