Report: One Additional Ravens Player Tested Positive for COVID-19 on Monday

The Baltimore Ravens had one additional player test positive for COVID-19 on Monday, but the player is on the injured reserve and has not been in close contact with his teammates, according to a report by Dan Graziano of ESPN.

Per source, today's round of Ravens test results produced no new positives that would impact Tuesday's game. There was 1 new positive, but it's an IR player who hasn't been in close contact with others. NFL has given Ravens the option to fly to Pitt tomorrow following more tests.

Baltimore will re-open its team facility Monday evening and could hold a practice before traveling to Pittsburgh for the scheduled game with the Steelers either late Monday night or Tuesday morning.

The positive test was the ninth consecutive day with a positive test for Baltimore. The team has 23 players on the COVID-19 reserve list.

There is also a possibility that the game could be postponed once again, according to a report by Jeff Zrebiec of the The Athletic, who said that the game being pushed back to Wednesday night is still being considered.

One option being considered for Ravens-Steelers is the game being pushed back to Wednesday night. Would give one more day to make sure COVID-19 outbreak with Ravens is under control and also give them a day to get a practice in.

The NFL has not had a game played that late in a week, and it’s not clear what kind of fallout it would result in when it comes to Pittsburgh’s Week 13 game against Washington currently scheduled for Sunday at Heinz Field.
