The Ravens on Monday placed newly signed cornerback Kevon Seymour on the reserve/COVID-19 list, threatening his availability for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Seymour played 17 special teams snaps in the Ravens’ 16-10 win Sunday night over the Cleveland Browns, his first game since being signed off the practice squad Saturday. He’s the first Raven to be added to the team’s coronavirus list since outside linebackers Jaylon Ferguson and Justin Houston and defensive tackles Brandon Williams and Justin Madubuike were designated in late September.
Coach John Harbaugh has said the Ravens’ vaccination rate is above 90%. Under NFL protocols, fully vaccinated players who test positive need to return two negative tests at least 24 hours apart to be cleared for team activities, as long as they’re asymptomatic. Vaccinated players will not be designated as high-risk close contacts but can be held to daily testing for five days. Unvaccinated players with infections must quarantine for at least 10 days, while unvaccinated players who are deemed high-risk close contacts must sit out at least five days and continue to test negative throughout.
“I know I don’t want to test positive, I can tell you that,” Harbaugh said Monday, in the wake of Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s reported infection. “Does anybody? I’m praying about it. Got my toes crossed. Fingers crossed, too, probably.”
The Ravens also made a practice squad move, releasing quarterback Kenji Bahar (Calvert Hall) and signing Chris Streveler in a corresponding move. The Arizona Cardinals released Streveler, 26, last week before signing Trace McSorley off the Ravens’ practice squad.
Bahar, a Baltimore native who spent time with the Ravens during rookie minicamp and in training camp, set school records at Monmouth, a Football Championship Subdivision program, for touchdown passes (70), passing yards (9,642) and 300-yard games (nine).
