Ravens Game Against Steelers Postponed Again

BALTIMORE, MD — The Baltimore Ravens will play the Pittsburgh Steelers Tuesday, officials announced Friday. It is the second time the game has been postponed.

Originally the Steelers and Ravens were to face off Thanksgiving during prime-time. Citing health and safety, the NFL moved the game to Sunday afternoon.

The NFL reported the game was postponed again, this time until Tuesday, following the Ravens' coronavirus outbreak.

The Ravens-Steelers game will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, broadcast on NBC. It will take place at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Because of the schedule change, another game has been moved; the Ravens were to play the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, but the NFL has postponed that matchup to Monday, Dec. 7.

This is the second time the Steelers have had a game rescheduled this season due to the virus. Their game against the Tennessee Titans was moved from week seven to week eight because of the virus, according to the NFL.

Then multiple Ravens players reportedly tested positive for the virus this week after the Titans came to Baltimore:

• Quarterback Lamar Jackson
• Defensive end Jihad Ward
• Defensive end Calais Campbell
• Offensive lineman Patrick Mekari
• Offensive lineman Matt Skura
• Outside linebacker Pernell McPhee
• Running back Mark Ingram
• Running back J.K. Dobbins

Nose tackle Brandon Williams was also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Coach John Harbaugh said Monday.

Several staff tested positive as well. The team disciplined a staff member for "conduct surrounding the recent COVID-19 cases," according to a statement the Ravens issued on Thanksgiving. According to a reporter for the NFL Network, the staffer was a strength and conditioning coach who neither reported symptoms nor wore a mask.
