The Baltimore Ravens placed eight defenders on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week after cornerback Marlon Humphrey tested positive for the virus and seven other players were considered “high-risk close contacts.” As expected, the Ravens got back all but Humphrey by Saturday. All seven players are now eligible to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Baltimore activated the following players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, to go along with outside linebacker Matthew Judon’s activation on Thursday:
- CB Terrell Bonds (restored to the practice squad)
- OLB Tyus Bowser
- S DeShon Elliott
- LB L.J. Fort
- LB Malik Harrison
- LB Patrick Queen
The moves will help a Ravens defense that is pretty beat up already. In addition to Humphrey being out of this game, Baltimore placed cornerback Jimmy Smith on the injury report with a questionable designation for Sunday’s game. Added to cornerbacks Iman Marshall, Tavon Young, and Anthony Averett all heading to injured reserve and the Ravens’ defense could use all the help they can get right now.
