TWO POSTPONEMENTS GIVE US A THIRD GAME DATE, AND THAT MEANS THE FIRST TUESDAY NIGHT MATCHUP BETWEEN THE RAVERS AND THE STEELERS. WILL THERE BE ANY RAVENS LEFT TO TAKE THE FIELD THAT YOU HEARD OF? A LOT OF PLAYERS ON THE COVID RESERVE LIST. THE TEAM ADDED FOUR PLAYERS TO THE LIST THIS AFTERNOON. AS EXPECTED, LAMAR JACKSON, REIGNING MVP, FULLBACK PATRICK RICARD, ROOKIE DEFENSIVE END JUSTIN MADUBUIKE, AND LONG SNAPPER MORGAN COX. THE WOLFPACK WILL BE BROKEN UP. OF COURSE, MISSING LAMAR JACKSON IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT. THE OFFENSIVE GAME PLAN RUNS THROUGH LAMAR. WHETHER RUN OR PASS, THE DEFENSE MUST ACCOUNT FOR JACKSON ON EVERY PLAY. ROBERT GRIFFIN III WILL GET THE START, AND RELATIVE TO BACKUPS AROUND THE LEE, A REALLY GOOD OPTION TO HAVE. BUT COMBINED WITH MISSING SO MANY BLOCKERS, IT’S A CHALLENGE UNLIKE ANY THE TEAM HAS EVER FACED. SO NOW THE RAVENS WILL FACE THE STEELERS 8:00 THIS COMING TUESDAY IN PITTSBURGH. YOU WILL SEE THE GAME HERE ON TV-11, AND WE’LL BEGIN THE COVERAGE WITH "RAVENS COUNTDOWN" AT 7:30. THE FOLLOWING GAME, HOME AGAINST DALLAS, IS MOVED FROM THURSDAY TO THANKS TO THE SCHEDULE MONDAY, DECEMBER 7. CHANGES, IF LAMAR JACKSON HAS NOT SHOWN SYMPTOMS HE WOULD BE , ELIGIBLE TO RETURN IN TIME FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME AGAINST DALLAS. BUT FOR NOW, THAT’S A BIG IF. THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS HAD TO PUT THREE PLAYERS ON THEIR RESERVE COVID LIST.AdvertisementNFL: Ravens-Steelers game postponed, again, to Tuesday4 more Ravens players put on Reserve/COVID-19 list FridayUPDATE (Nov. 30) -- Ravens-Steelers game postponed, again, to Wednesday afternoon.Maybe the third time is the charm. The Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game is postponed, again, and will now be played Tuesday.The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. and will air on WBAL-TV 11/NBC, the NFL announced Friday afternoon. Coverage on WBAL-TV 11 starts with "Ravens Countdown" at 7:30 p.m.The Ravens-Steelers game was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving but was moved to Sunday after several coronavirus cases were reported on the Ravens through the week leading up to the game.Ravens head coach John Harbaugh released a statement Friday evening, saying: "We appreciate the efforts of the NFL and Pittsburgh Steelers throughout this process, while we all work to create an environment that keeps the health and safety of everyone involved at the forefront of each decision. "Our organization has a plan in place, and we will be prepared to play the Steelers. We thank everyone for their adaptability and look forward to the challenge of facing a very good football team at Heinz Field on Tuesday night."As for Thursday's Week 13 Dallas Cowboys-Ravens game, the NFL said that should the Steelers game be played Tuesday, the Cowboys-Ravens game will be moved to Monday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. and will be broadcast on FOX.4 more Ravens players put on Reserve/COVID-19 listMore coronavirus cases were reported through Friday as quarterback Lamar Jackson, fullback Patrick Ricard, defensive tackle Justin Madubuike and long snapper Morgan Cox were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. That brings the number of players on the list to 13.ESPN and WBAL Radio's Jamison Hensley reports that the team believes Jackson was infected during the game Sunday against the Titans, but as is often the case with the coronavirus, it may take several days for a test to return positive.Due to the 10-day quarantine, Jackson will not play Tuesday night in Pittsburgh -- missing the first game of his young NFL career -- but he could be available for the Dallas game.Of course, missing Jackson is the most significant development. The offensive game plan runs through him. Whether run or pass, the defense must account for Jackson on every play.Robert Griffin III will get the start and, relative to backups around the league, is a good one. But combined with missing so many blockers, it's a challenge unlike any the team has ever faced.Third-string quarterback Trace McSorley is also on the Reserve/COVID-19 list as of last Friday. As such, undrafted rookie Tyler Huntley is currently the only other quarterback on the roster (practice squad).Ricard tweeted Friday afternoon: "The word is out, I tested positive yesterday for COVID. I'll be using this time to rest/recover along (with) my teammates/staff who (have) been affected by this virus. I appreciate all the love and support. We will come back stronger than ever!"Rounding out the list ...Other Ravens players who have previously tested positive include running backs Mark Ingram II and J.K. Dobbins, outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, and defensive ends Calais Campbell and Jihad Ward.Campbell tweeted Friday morning: "We just want to contain this outbreak! Speaking from experience ... you don't want to catch covid! This virus is brutal! I pray no one else has to go thru this. This is bigger than football."Additionally, the last two Ravens centers, Matt Skura and Pat Mekari, have tested positive.Brandon Williams is on the COVID list, but for a close contact, so conceivably he could be ready for Pittsburgh, although he was also battling an ankle injury.Meanwhile, the Steelers announced Friday that they have placed defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs, outside linebacker Jerald Hawkins and defensive end Stephon Tuitt on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.On Friday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin canceled practice as the team awaited clarification from the NFL on Sunday's game.Uncertainty leaves Ravens fans worriedThe uncertainty with the games and the team has left fans worried."You don't know how far it's going to spread. I know Pittsburgh people are mad, but you're 10-0. You don't want your team end up getting screwed by it, too," said Dave Krabbe, a Ravens fan. "I hope they get themselves together.""The past few weeks, it has kind of been like a downward spiral, just in terms of the schedule. This is kind of icing on the cake, but at this point, I think we're all dealing with an unprecedented season," said Kelly Wallace, a Ravens fan. "I think the Ravens have a great team, but at this point, I think whoever wins the Super Bowl (is) going to have, like, an asterisk next to their name because who knows if it's their starting line, or who knows if it's a team they beat without their starting lineup."The NFL has also taken additional precautionary steps this week, making it mandatory for players to wear masks on the sidelines of games, reducing the number of players who can travel on road trips and limiting the number of people allowed in team facilities.UPDATE (Nov. 30) -- Ravens-Steelers game postponed, again, to .AdvertisementMaybe the third time is the charm.
