PITTSBURGH -- Chris Wormley remembers training at the Baltimore Ravens facility in March 2020 when the topic of coronavirus was first brought up. Two days later, he wasn’t allowed back in the building. A week after that, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
For the 27-year-old defensive end, the upheaval -- a new team, a new city and a move with a newborn, all in the midst of a pandemic -- took a toll on his mental health.
Add in the early training camp injury that lingered throughout the season and a three-week stint on the Injured Reserve List, and Wormley admits he really struggled at times during 2020.
