The Ravens close their facilities until Monday
Through head coach John Harbaugh to ESPN, the Baltimore Ravens facilities will remain closed until Monday after the QB Lamar Jackson, three more players and a staff member will present positive cases of COVID-19. Considering this situation and that his game against the Steelers is scheduled for Sunday, it is unlikely that this will take place.
