The game that was supposed to be played on Thanksgiving, moved to Tuesday could be shifted again, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
From the #Ravens players-only meeting, two main points:
— They want to play.
— Health and safety has to come first. Once source in the meeting asked, “Can’t we have at least two days of negative tests after this outbreak before we are expected to get back on the field?"— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 30, 2020
Football fans have been anxiously awaiting the AFC North clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, COVID-19 issues saw the game pushed from Thanksgiving night to Tuesday.
And on Monday, a report the game could be on the move once again.
Week 13 currently has Washington at Pittsburgh on Sunday, and Cowboys at Ravens next Monday. Those could be impacted by a third postponement to Ravens-Steelers. https://t.co/TIqLnoZscX

A Ravens-Steelers Thanksgiving Game timeline
11/23 – Ravens shut down facility after positive Covid tests
11/25 – NFL moves game to Sunday
11/27 – NFL moves game until Tuesday
11/30 – 19 total players on the Covid-19/Reserve List, NFL postpones game to Wednesday (for now)— SB Nation (@SBNation) November 30, 2020
One of Schefter’s colleagues at ESPN added some other information that could come into play with decision-making. A forfeit would mean players on both teams would lose a game-check.
Baltimore's team facility is scheduled to reopen this evening, at which point the team will discuss its options. There is some concern among players about playing tomorrow, but also an understanding that, if the game is canceled, no one gets paid. Decisions likely tonight.
