The COVID-19 pandemic is raging and the Baltimore Ravens appear to be the latest team with big-time issues.
Mike Garofalo of NFL Network reported Tuesday many Ravens players are expected to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list due to close contact with DB Marlon Humphrey, who announced he tested positive Monday.
And right on cue, NFL chief medical officer says one of the teams with a positive test from Sunday had six high-risk close contacts. So expect six #Ravens to land on the reserve list today. https://t.co/OWFsaIoalV

And on another COVID-19 front, it is reported NFL teams have been told to step it up when it comes to wearing masks. Pretty much anywhere and everywhere when it comes to the field and locker room.
NFL sent memo asking teams to have players wear masks on the sideline during game and in locker room.

NFL says it will expand each team's bench area on the sideline from one 20-yard line to the other 20-yard line, to encourage distancing measures.
