In a tweet Thursday, reporter Ian Rapoport said the reigning Most Valuable Player got the results on the night the Ravens were scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was moved to Sunday.

The Ravens have had at least 12 players and multiple staff members test positive for coronavirus in the past four days.

Four more Ravens’ players and one more staff have tested positive for COVID, source tells ESPN.

Game Sunday still on for now, but chances of it being played are diminishing quickly.

With Jackson out, the Ravens likely will turn to Robert Griffin III. He’s the only healthy quarterback remaining on the roster with former Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley also on the reserve/covid-19 list.

As of Thursday night, an NFL spokesman said there has been no change in the game’s status.

Ravens believe Lamar Jackson became infected in Sunday's game vs. Titans and is only now testing positive.

Jackson took snaps from center Patrick Mekari, who tested positive.

Jackson's locker room on game day is close to RBs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram - both tested positive.

#Ravens QB Trace McSorley went on the Reserve/COVID-19 list last week. Now Lamar Jackson has tested positive, per @RapSheet.

That leaves Robert Griffin III and practice-squad rookie Tyler Huntley as the healthy QBs, with a showdown with the #Steelers now scheduled for Sunday.
