The Baltimore
Ravens held virtual team activities on Tuesday amid an NFL
Network report of 10 confirmed new positive COVID-19 tests in
the organization, leaving the status of the club's scheduled
Thursday game at Pittsburgh uncertain.
The Ravens closed, and then reopened, their team facility on
Monday following positive COVID-19 tests involving running backs
Mark Ingram and rookie J.K. Dobbins. Defensive tackle Brandon
Williams was deemed a close contact, and all three players were
placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
An NFL Network report indicated that 10 positive cases among
Ravens players and other personnel prompted the league to
closely monitor the situation. A decision on whether to play the
Thanksgiving night game against the Steelers reportedly will be
determined by the NFL on Wednesday.
"With the health and safety of players and staff remaining the
highest priority, the Baltimore Ravens have determined that all
further team activities will be conducted virtually today," the
team said in a statement Tuesday.
The Ravens (6-4) are coming off a 30-24 overtime loss to the
Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Steelers, the NFL's lone
unbeaten team at 10-0, routed the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-3 last
weekend.
Baltimore started the season 5-1 before dropping three of their
past four games.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey tested positive for COVID-19 earlier
this month.
