Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is canceling his team’s training on Friday as the club waits for more information on its rescheduled Sunday match against the Baltimore Ravens, NFL Network Aditi Kinkhabwala reported. The team later announced the news.
NFL tournament officials will meet later on Friday to discuss the Ravens situation amid the COVID-19 outbreak, but there may be no decision on Friday as to whether Sunday’s match will continue, as the latest test results will only arrive tonight. . Kinkhabwala added.
The game was originally supposed to be played Thursday night, but due to an outbreak within the Ravens organization, the NFL postponed the game to Sunday at 1:15 p.m.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was one of Ravens ’four players, and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport said Thanksgiving was positive for COVID-19 and the league is waiting for contact information after positive tests.
On Friday morning, the Rapoport reported that the game would continue to be played as planned, but the league’s concern is high-risk close contact, and if the Ravens have problems “buttoned” or will spread, and that ultimately determines whether the game on Sunday or sometime in the future will be played beyond that.
