So far, the Ravens players we know are positive JK Dobbins and Mark Ingram and outside linebacker Parnell McPhee are running backs.

Another Ravens player, defensive end Derek Wolfe, showed Ravens with an illness on Tuesday’s injury report, so it could be another positive COVID-19 test result.
You can trust that the NFL will do everything they can to make sure they can play Thursday night’s game as it is a primetime television game on Thanksgiving Night.
