What a difference a day makes. On Monday, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that the NFL planned to keep the Steelers-Ravens Thanksgiving game as scheduled.
Jeff Zrebiec who covers the Baltimore Ravens for The Athletic tweeted on Tuesday that the team has returned more positive COVID-19 tests. This is after running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram both tested positive for COVID-19 and were already ruled out for the Thursday night game.
It’s not clear whether the new positive tests are staff, players, or both.
The Ravens learned this morning of more positive COVID-19 tests, per sources.

The NFL will do everything in its power to make this game happen on Thursday. But it’s a short week and there are only so many reserves that can be tapped into. There’s also the factor of this being an away game for the Ravens.
