The Baltimore Ravens have seen multiple key contributors placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list over the past few days ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. That fact combined with the countless amount of injuries leaves Baltimore decimated at multiple key positions.
On Saturday, the Ravens lost two more players to the Reserve/COVID-19 list in cornerback Chris Westry and wide receiver Sammy Watkins. Both players were set to have key roles in the event that they suited up, but now they will be unavailable.
Another blow to the Ravens secondary: Starting CB Chris Westry won’t play Sunday after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

WR Sammy Watkins is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and will be out tomorrow vs. the Packers.

Westry leaves the Baltimore secondary extremely thin against Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams. In addition to Westry, the Ravens won’t have cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters as well as safeties DeShon Elliott and Chuck Clark.
Watkins left Baltimore’s Week 14 game against the Cleveland Browns, and now won’t play in Week 15 as well. His absence means there will be more snaps available for wideouts such as Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II.
