Ravens Cornerback Iman Marshall Tests Positive for COVID-19

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens cornerback Iman Marshall became the later player to be placed on Reserve/COVID-19 list.

It’s the second straight week a player has tested positive for the virus. 

Fellow cornerback Marlon Humphrey had a positive test on Nov. 3 and missed the previous game against the Colts. Humphrey was allowed to return to practice this week. 

The Ravens did not formally name Marshall but his name was listed on the daily transaction list. 

“We were informed this morning that a Ravens player has tested positive for COVID-19,” the team said in a statement. “He immediately began to self-quarantine, and our organization is now in the NFL’s intensive protocol. There were no high-risk contacts, and no other player or staff member is required to isolate.

“We will continue to work closely with the NFL, our team doctors and trainers and will follow their guidance.”

Marshall was placed on injured reserve at the start of training camp, so there were no high-risk close contacts.

But as a result of Humphrey’s diagnosis, the Ravens had seven players — cornerback Terrell Bonds, inside linebackers L.J. Fort., Patrick Queen, Malik Harrison outside linebackers Matthew Judon and Tyus Bowser and safety DeShon Elliott — that were high-risk close contacts and had to self-isolate for five days this week.

All of those players with the exception of linebacker L.J. Fort, who was also dealing with a finger injury, were able to travel to Indianapolis.

Last month, Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list one day prior to the Week 6 game against the Eagles.

Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe was held out of the week 4 victory over the Washington Football Team for precautionary measures related to COVID-19, according to coach John Harbaugh. He has 15 tackles and two quarterback hits over two games.

In addition, rookie safety Nigel Warrior was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list during training camp. He later signed with the Ravens’ practice squad.
