Humphrey played every snap in the Ravens' 28-24 Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team said in a statement that Humphrey immediately began to self-quarantine and the organization is in the NFL's intensive COVID-19 protocol.

"In co-ordination with the league, we have started the process of contact tracing and are following the guidelines of intensive protocol," the statement read.

"The health and safety of our players, staff and community continue to be our highest priority. We will continue to work closely with the NFL and our team doctors and will follow their guidance."

In a statement, the Steelers said that the team's COVID-19 tests from Sunday came back as negative.
