Baltimore Ravens rookie safety Geno Stone is one of the team’s two latest positive cases for COVID-19 Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.

Safety Geno Stone is the Ravens player who tested positive Tuesday, according to a source.

The other positive test is reportedly from a Baltimore staff member, with the team now having gone ten straight days with at least on new case.

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Stone participated in the team’s walkthrough sessions the last two day, but he did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.

Selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Stone has seen action in just two games this season, mostly on special teams.

A two-year starter for the Iowa, Stone recorded 70 career tackles, six interceptions and four forced fumbles.

Had he been set to or not Wednesday afternoon at Heinz Field, the game would have been a homecoming for Stone, as he is a New Castle native. He earned First-Team All-State honors as a senior defensive back at New Castle High School.
