“The Baltimore Ravens have disciplined a staff member for conduct surrounding the recent COVID-19 cases that affected players and staff at the Ravens.”

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, the suspended staff member was Strength & Conditioning Coach Steve Saunders.

The Ravens will likely start Robert Griffin III for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and possibly against the Dallas Cowboys the following week, as Jackson will likely be unable to play the next two games.
