PITTSBURGH – The Steelers have placed 4 additional players on the COVID-19 reserve list, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The list also includes OL Jerald Hawkins, RB Jaylen Samuels, and LB Vince Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 List. Monday, tight end Vance McDonald was officially placed on the list after his COVID-19 test came back positive. The Steelers are scheduled to host the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, a team that already has five players on its list. These lists include players who are part of contact tracing, but haven’t necessarily tested positive. A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Big Ben was deemed a “high-risk, close contact.” If he passes all COVID-19 tests this week, he would be eligible to play Sunday, Schefter reports. Coach Mike Tomlin is to hold his weekly press conference at noon. You can hear it on 1450AM WJPA.
