The Baltimore Ravens had 10 consecutive days with a positive COVID-10 test result before Wednesday ended the streak. That trend had continued yesterday as safety Geno Stone tested positive for the coronavirus and players were informed on the plane to Pittsburgh. As expected, the Ravens placed Stone on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, according to a press release from the team.
Stone’s addition to the Reserve/COVID-19 list makes it a total of 23 players added since last Monday. Baltimore’s outbreak initially kicked off last Monday following a Week 11 loss to the Tennessee Titans, seeing both running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins test positive.
Stone had been placed on the practice squad earlier this season, making his debut in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. Though Stone was active for two games, he only saw two defensive snaps, spending a majority of his time on special teams where he played a total of 38 snaps. While the loss of Stone for this game is just another name in the deluge, every warm body counts as the Ravens needed to elevate 10 players from the practice squad Wednesday against the Steelers.
