The Baltimore Ravens have been hit with even more positive COVID-19 cases ahead of Thursday night's clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, the Ravens learned this morning of more positive tests within the organization.

Since Sunday night, they've had a total of 10 new cases, but not all have been players. Coaches and staff members have also been infected with the virus. Baltimore already canceled all team activities on Tuesday due to the breakout, which will certainly raise concerns as they prepare to take on the NFL's best team in the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.
Running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbin will both miss primetime against Pittsburgh due to the virus, which leaves John Harbaugh extremely thin at the position. Defensive tackle Brandon Williams has also been placed on the restricted list due to COVID-19. Due to the positive tests, all three would realistically miss the next two games for the Ravens.
Baltimore lost a heartbreaker to Tennessee on Sunday in OT, after Derrick Henry marched into the endzone for the winning touchdown. The Ravens are currently 6-4 on the season and third in the AFC North.
They're still in Wild Card contention, but with COVID-19 infecting so many people within the organization, it definitely raises concerns. Week 8 saw Baltimore lose to the Steelers as they look to hand them their first loss of the season later this week. But, it will certainly not be easy for the Ravens with numerous players missing within their squad.
