Steelers announce first positive COVID-19 test since opening of training camp

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 11/7/20

The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to be doing everything right. An undefeated 7-0 record, no positive COVID-19 tests — that all changed on Saturday.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, it's affecting more and more NFL teams, and it finally has hit the Steelers locker room. The team announced that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19, which marks the first from the organization since the opening of training camp.

The positive test comes after the Steelers faced the Baltimore Ravens last weekend, who saw Marlon Humphrey test positive just one day after the game.

Pittsburgh is set to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. No one has been ruled out for the game due to COVID-19, but contact tracing could make some players unavailable due to NFL protocols.
