NFL Postpones Steelers vs. Ravens Thanksgiving Night Game

The NFL has rescheduled the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Thursday night game.

PITTSBURGH -- The NFL has announced the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens game scheduled for Thanksgiving night has been postponed to Sunday afternoon. 

The Ravens reportedly received over 10 positive COVID-19 tests since Sunday night. They have shut down their facility since Monday and have not yet practice. After more positive tests came back Wednesday morning, the league announced the rescheduling. 

"The decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel and in the consultation with medical experts," the NFL said in a press release.

Ravens have had 7 players test positive over the last three days - Ingram, Dobbins, McSorley, McPhee, Skura, Campbell, Mekari, per source. League wants to use the extra days to continue testing, tracing. So game postponed.

This is the second game the Steelers were involved in that was rescheduled for COVID-19 issues on the opposing team, the first coming in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans, which resulted in a shortened bye week after a late postponement. 

Steelers players made their opinion clear on Twitter following the announcement, sharing their disappointment with the NFL. 

First the NFL takes away our bye week because another team can’t get their Covid situation together, now they take away our Thanksgiving primetime game for the same reason. Smh.
