Colts staff member tests positive for COVID-19

The Colts organization said the unidentified staff member has self-quarantined and is under the care of team doctors.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts announced a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. 

The Colts organization said the unidentified staff member has self-quarantined and is under the care of team doctors.

Thursday's scheduled practice will go on at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center, but all meetings will be held virtually and away from the practice facility. 

The Colts (5-2) are scheduled to play the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) Sunday, Nov. 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium at 1 p.m. ET. 

The Colts are in the process of contact tracing and have entered the NFL’s intensive protocol. The team said they are working closely with the NFL, its medical staff and team doctors. 

On Monday, the Ravens said they were informed that a player had tested positive. That player immediately began to self-quarantine. 

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey identified himself on Twitter as the player who tested positive. 

Humphrey will miss Sunday's game against the Colts because the NFL protocol states he must quarantine for 10 days following his positive test. 

ESPN has reported seven "high-risk" close contacts with Humphrey. However, this doesn't mean those close contacts have tested positive results or will miss Sunday's game 

The Ravens said they have started contact tracing and will work with the NFL and team doctors for further guidance.
