The Baltimore Ravens disciplined a staff member after a COVID-19 outbreak forced the NFL to move the team's Thanksgiving night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to Sunday.
Seven Ravens players and multiple coaches have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Ravens staff member is a strength and conditioning coach who did not report COVID-19 symptoms, and did not consistently wear a mask or tracking device, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

"We appreciate the NFL for its diligence in working closely with us to ensure the well-being of players, coaches and staff from both the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers organizations," the Ravens said in a statement.
This will be the second game the pandemic shifted for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's week four game was moved due to an outbreak on the Tennessee Titans in October.
