Comment on Former UMaine football star among Baltimore Ravens with COVID-19

Pat Ricard, who was a Pro Bowl fullback last season for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, is one of four Ravens diagnosed Friday with COVID-19 on Friday and put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, according to published reports. Ricard, a Massachusetts native, was an All-America defensive lineman at the University of Maine. One of the other four Baltimore players who tested positive for the coronavirus is quarterback and reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson. Friday’s additions brought the total number of Ravens players diagnosed with the coronavirus this week to 12. The 6-4 Ravens were scheduled to play the 10-0 Pittsburgh Steelers in an important AFC North Division contest on Thanksgiving night, but the COVID-19 outbreak first pushed it back, first to Sunday afternoon and now to Tuesday night. The Ravens were supposed to play Dallas on Dec.
