Ravens QB Jackson Has Positive Test for Covid-19; Sunday’s Game Against Steelers in Serious Doubt

Things are going from bad to worse for the 6-4 Baltimore Ravens, and after Thursday’s report, one has to wonder if they are even going to play Sunday’s scheduled game against the 10-0 Steelers.

Reports broke late Thursday afternoon that the 2019 NFL MVP Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has tested positive for the covid-19 virus, meaning that he won’t be able to play IF there’s a game at 1:15pm Sunday at Heinz Field.

The positive tests continue to come out for the Ravens, who already have lost a handful of impact players with positive tests.

Among now those that have tested positive include:

QB Lamar Jackson
RB J.K. Dobbins
RB Mark Ingram
DE Jihad Ward
LB Pernell McPhee
QB Trace McSorley
C Matt Skura
OG Patrick Mekari
DE Calais Campbell

NT Brandon Williams is on the covid-19/reserve list due to being a high-risk close contact.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter says now that it’s becoming more and more unlikely that Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Ravens will be played at all.

Four more Ravens’ players and one more staff have tested positive for COVID, source tells ESPN.

Game Sunday still on for now, but chances of it being played are diminishing quickly.

Ravens players were told today by their HC John Harbaugh that, for everyone’s safety, they will not be allowed back in the training facility until Monday at the earliest, sources tell ESPN.

Ravens are scheduled to play Steelers on Sunday, so that game doesn’t seem possible.
