Griffin III, who will be taking
snaps from a third-string cen-
ter after Patrick Mekari and
Matt Skura were placed on
the COVID-19 list on
Wednesday.
Andrews is a Type-1 dia-
betic, which makes COV-
ID-19 potentially more dan-
gerous. His loss should have
an impact in that he leads
Baltimore in receptions (38),
yards receiving (454) and
touchdown catches (6).
Andrews, Judon, Jackson,
Ingram, Campbell, fullback
Patrick Ricard and long snap-
per Morgan Cox were all se-
lected to the Pro Bowl last
season. Jackson, of course,
was the NFL’s MVP in 2019.
Judon owns Baltimore’s
franchise tag. He is tied for
the team lead with four sacks
and has 34 tackles.
Snead has 17 catches for
230 yards and two touch-
downs over the past four
games.
The NFL’s last Wednesday
game was the 2012 season
opener between the Giants
and the Cowboys, which was
moved from a Thursday
night because of a conflict
with the Democratic Na-
tional Convention, which was
scheduled to have President
Barack Obama speak on
Thursday night.
Also being moved, accord-
ing to a person with direct
knowledge of the switch, is
the scheduled Week 13 game
between the Steelers and
Washington at Heinz Field, to
Dec. 7 from Sunday. The per-
son spoke on condition of an-
onymity because that sched-
ule shift had not yet been an-
nounced.
Baltimore is supposed to
host Dallas on Dec. 7 as well.

ROBERT GRIFFIN III
Waiting to play.

By DaviD GinsBurG

The Ravens’ struggle to
contain an extended out-
break of the coronavirus
forced their rescheduled
game Tuesday night against
the unbeaten Steelers to be
moved back to Wednesday.
It’s the third fix to a
matchup originally slated to
be played Thanksgiving
night.
The NFL announced the
most recent switch Monday
after the Ravens placed start-
ers Matthew Judon, Willie
Snead and Mark Andrews on
the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Although Baltimore also
had four players return from
that list, the team will still be
severely short-handed when
this game is finally played.
The addition of Judon, a
standout linebacker, and An-
drews, the leading receiver
on the team, brings to seven
the number of 2019 Pro Bowl
players that Baltimore has
placed on the COVID-19 list
over the past week.
Cornerback Terrell Bonds,
who’s on injured reserve, was
also added to the expansive
list Monday.
There was a bit of good
news, however: Baltimore ac-
tivated linebacker Jayson Fer-
guson, offensive lineman D.J.
Fluker and defensive tackle
Broderick Washington from
the COVID-19 list. Defensive
back Iman Marshall was also
activated, although he’s been
on IR since tearing his right
ACL in August.
The contest pitting two
longtime rivals was originally
scheduled for Thanksgiving
night before a rash of corona-
virus cases among the Rav-
ens forced the game to be
postponed to Sunday. As Bal-
timore continued to stack up
positive tests, the game was
moved back to Tuesday
night.
Now, perhaps, they’ll fi-
nally meet on Wednesday in
Pittsburgh. Or not.
The Ravens (6-4) will face
the Steelers without several
of their top playmakers, in-
cluding quarterback Lamar
Jackson, running backs Mark
Ingram and J.K. Dobbins, and
defensive linemen Calais
Campbell and Brandon Willi-
ams.
The loss of Andrews and
Snead will further hinder
backup quarterback Robert
