Baltimore has reported multiple new cases every day since Sunday.
The Ravens' Thanksgiving matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed to Sunday amid the team's ongoing outbreak.
Baltimore has seven players on the reserve/COVID-19 list and an unconfirmed number of positives among coaches and staff.
The AFC North club disciplined a strength and conditioning coach Wednesday for failing to report symptoms, or wear a mask or tracking device consistently, which may have led to the outbreak.
If the game can't be played Sunday, it's possible the NFL will have to use its contingency plan of adding a Week 18 to make up delayed games.
If the NFL does add Week 18, it could push back the start of the playoffs or eliminate the extra week between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.
