That announcement comes in spite of the recent news that Baltimore Ravens safety Geno Stone and one staff member tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and that Stone was in attendance for Baltimore’s walkthroughs on Monday and Tuesday.
The Steelers have also had late-in-the-week COVID-19 issues, as center Maurkice Pouncey will reportedly be placed on the COVID-19 reserve list before the game after practicing with the team on Sunday.
