Multiple members of the Baltimore Ravens organization tested positive for the coronavirus recently, putting their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday in jeopardy.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team may not even fly to Pittsburgh until Thursday because of the possibility of more players or coaches within the organization to test positive for COVID-19.
While the #Ravens deal with positive COVID-19 tests for some staff members and players, one option being considered is for the team to fly out day-of-game on Thursday. It’s a short flight and a night game. Not ideal, but not unprecedented, either.

The Ravens have been working virtually this week due to their COVID-19 outbreak.
Running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram already have been ruled out for this week's game against the Steelers after both tested positive for COVID-19. Defensive tackle Brandon Williams also has been ruled out due to close contact.
After losing two straight games, the Ravens are looking to be the first team this season to take down the Steelers. That'll be a difficult task if more players continue to be ruled out for Thanksgiving football.
