Justin Houston Placed On COVID-19 List
3 years agoThe Baltimore Ravens placed veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday and activated veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. There's a chance that Houston could return for a big Week 16 divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals if he's vaccinated, but it remains to be seen if he's able to return a negative test before Sunday. Houston has the third-most sacks on the team with 4.5 and has been a consistent source of pressure on opposing quarterbacks, so the Ravens defense will lose a key player if he is sidelined this week. In the Week 7 loss to the Bengals, Houston has a season-high four QB hits on Joe Burrow. McPhee is known as more of a run-stuffer than a pass-rusher.
