The Ravens have been dealing with an outbreak of the novel coronavirus since last Monday, and will be without reigning MVP and starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, and running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins, among others.
Ahead of the game, the Ravens activated 10 players from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Baltimore had zero positive tests ahead of Wednesday’s kickoff and NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills says the league is confident there is “no active infection” among players and staff in Pittburgh.
