    Mike Tomlin Cancels Steelers Friday Practice

    Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is canceling his team's Friday practice as the club awaits further information regarding its rescheduled Sunday game against the Baltimore Ravens, NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala reported. The team later announced the news.

    NFL league officials are set to meet later Friday to discuss the Ravens situation amid a COVID-19 outbreak. Pittsburgh might still elect to practice Friday if the league decides Sunday's game is definitely on, though that decision might not be made Friday as the latest test results are not set to come in until the evening, Kinkhabwala added.

    Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was one of four Ravens players to test positive for COVID-19 on Thanksgiving, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, and the league is awaiting contact tracing information following the positive tests.

    On Friday morning, Rapoport reported the game is still scheduled to be played, but the league's concern is high-risk close contacts and if the Ravens have issues "buttoned up" or if it will continue to spread and that will ultimately determine if the game is played on Sunday or sometime in the future beyond that.

    Steelers cancel practice; wait for word on Ravens game https://www.nfl.com/news/mike-tomlin...her-word-on-su

    There is no good way out of this box for the NFL. Every choice of what to do screws somebody.

    I doubt there will be a game at this point. This should be a forfeit with serious consequences, e.g. draft pick(s), for Baltimore. I can't see the league moving it to the end of the season, either.

    Let's face it: The NFL will not cancel this game. They will reschedule it. No NFL game ever - in over 100 years - has been forfeited. Not gonna happen now.

    So, scenarios:

    -Game moved to something like Tuesday or Wednesday. Some of the games of next week will also be postponed as a consequence.
    -Game moved to Week 18.
    -Game moved to Week 17, while all originally scheduled matches for week 17 will move to week 18. This is to avoid giving anyone but the #1 seed a bye ahead of the playoffs.

    Mark my words, the situation isn't going to change by Tuesday and then they will have really boxed themselves into a corner and probably end up doing what they should have done Thursday night: play the damn game minus infected.
