NFL cancels Thanksgiving night game over coronavirus-positive tests

The NFL canceled the Thanksgiving night game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens after a series of positive COVID-19 tests.

The postponement of the game, which will now be played on Sunday, was announced Wednesday afternoon. The decision, according to ESPN, came after seven different Ravens players tested positive for the coronavirus in the past three days: running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins, quarterback Trace McSorley, center Matt Skura, guard Patrick Mekari, defensive end Calais Campbell, and outside linebacker Pernell McPhee. None of them will be eligible to play in Sunday’s game.
