Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game postponed again, to Wednesday at 3:40 p.m. ET
It becomes the first game of the NFL season to get postponed three times because NBC, which is broadcasting the game, wanted to honor its commitment to broadcast the 88th Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Wednesday night, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Baltimore Ravens WR Dez Bryant says he's tested positive just before kickoff
Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant surprisingly announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19 just 30 minutes before his much-anticipated reunion with theDallas Cowboys on Tuesday night. According to the NFL, Bryant's PCR test Tuesday morning was inconclusive, as was the re-run of the test. The lab is in Maryland, so that's why the results came back on Tuesday evening. The subsequent point-of-contact PCR test at the stadium was positive and Bryant was removed, as per NFL protocol. The NFL and NFLPA are not worried about close contacts with Bryant, sources told ESPN, because the Ravens have been operating under exceedingly strict protocols for the past two weeks, effectively eliminating the possibility of close contacts. Bryant, 32, was set to play the Cowboys for the first time since Dallas cut him two years ago. Days before the game, Bryant said it was going to be "an exciting moment" to play the team that he spent eight seasons with and caught a franchise-record 73 touchdowns passes.
Bryant said he would not return this season."Yea I'm going to go ahead and call it a quit for the rest of the season," Bryant posted on Twitter. "... I can't deal with this."
