Ravens activate Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin, James Proche from reserve/COVID list
There was concern out of the Baltimore Ravens organization on Wednesday that the team would be without its top receivers this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
However, it appears crisis has been averted in Baltimore, as Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and James Proche were activated from the reserve/COVID list on Saturday, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
All three players were placed on the reserve/COVID list on Wednesday. A player does not have to test positive to be placed on the list. He can be placed on it if he comes into close contact with another person who tested positive for the virus.
All three receivers have tested negative for the coronavirus since coming into close contact with someone who was COVID-19 positive, according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, making them eligible to play in Sunday's game.
While the Jaguars are 1-12 on the season, Sunday's game is big for the Ravens, who are fighting for a playoff spot in the AFC. Having Brown, Boykin and Proche available gives the team better odds to prevail against Jacksonville.
