Baltimore Ravens

Pinter suffered a torn patella tendon in his right knee during Baltimore's joint practice with the Vikings on Aug. 19. As expected, the offensive lineman will now miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR.

Pocic hurt his knee in Week 3 against Dallas and will need to sit out at least four games. Jovaughn Gwyn (ankle) was also moved to IR on Saturday, leaving Olaivavega Ioane to handle starting center duties for the Ravens moving forward.

This move was anticipated after Gwyn was diagnosed with a fractured fibula earlier in the week and given a 2-to-3 month return timetable. Ethan Pocic (knee) also landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Baltimore will have to rely on rookie first-rounder Olaivavega Ioane to handle center duties Sunday versus Tennessee and for several weeks beyond.

Robinson suffered a season-ending pectoral injury during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. The outside linebacker will spend the rest of 2026 on IR, allowing the Ravens to carry more depth on the offensive line. The team signed offensive guard Kyle Hergel from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Loop emerged from Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills with a right groin injury, which will keep him out for at least the next four games. Baltimore plans to elevate or sign Jake Moody off its practice squad to take over as its kicker beginning with Thursday's game against Jacksonville. Through Baltimore's first eight contests, Loop went a perfect 18-for-18 on point-after attempts but missed four of his 17 field-goal tries.

Jackson dislocated and fractured his right thumb on his only play of last Sunday's loss at Buffalo, and while he was placed on injured reserve Thursday, he hasn't been ruled out for the season. Considering the typical recovery for his particular injury is in the 6-to-9-week range, per Rapoport, Jackson has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but the Ravens will need to stay in the playoff hunt. To that end, Baltimore obtained Jacoby Brissett from Arizona this week to bolster a QB room that not only lost Jackson indefinitely but also Tyler Huntley for the season due to a turf-toe injury. Brissett's experience gives the team a chance to get back to winning ways after losing four games in a row.

Huntley and Lamar Jackson (thumb) were both placed on injured reserve Thursday. The latter still has at least a slim chance to return this season, while Huntley's injury has been confirmed to be season-ending. Joe Fagnano is set to start Thursday's game against the Jaguars before reinforcements arrive under center in the form of Jacoby Brissett, for whom the Ravens are expected to finalize a trade over the weekend.

Randall was not considered to be limited during Baltimore's walkthrough practice Wednesday but he's still on IR going into game-day. If he's not activated for Week 9, his next opportunity to make his regular-season debut would come in Week 10 versus the Chargers.

Robinson was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday. The safety cleared waivers and is set to spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The undrafted free agent out of Auburn will likely look toward next year for a potential NFL debut.

Smythe tore his Achilles during Sunday's game versus the Titans, and he will now have to spend the remainder of the season on IR. His absence should open up more reps at tight end for rookie fourth-rounder Matthew Hibner.

Madubuike logged a trio of limited practices for a second consecutive week, but he'll remain out in Week 2. The defensive tackle is still recovering from a significant neck injury he sustained last September but should be ready to suit up in Week 3 or Week 4, given he wasn't placed on IR at the start of the regular season.

Jones sustained a pec injury during the 2026 offseason and was sidelined to begin training camp, but he's now back practicing for the first time this offseason. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $40.5 million extension with Baltimore in the offseason after totaling 47 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, as well as a forced fumble and a recovery in 2025, all career bests. Jones is set up to continue his duties as the starting nose tackle for Baltimore alongside Trey Hendrickson, who should attract more attention from opposing offensive lines to take some of the attention away from the fifth-year defensive tackle.

Practice-squad elevation Austin Reed moved up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart ahead of the Week 9 meeting with the Jaguars. While Slovis is inactive, he will be available if Reed and starter Joe Fagnano exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

While the Ravens haven't officially confirmed that Jurgens has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, his ability to take contact in the team's first Week 7 practice session is a good sign for his chances of making his team debut Sunday against the Bengals. Assuming he's cleared to play, Jurgens will start at center, while Vega Ioane (ankle) will shift back over to right guard.

Fagnano -- who was inactive for Sunday's contest as the Ravens' emergency No. 3 quarterback -- ended up being pressed into action after starter Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) left the game early. The undrafted rookie out of UConn ended up directing the offense for most of the afternoon, completing just 10 of 21 pass attempts for 91 yards and an interception while adding three yards on three carries and losing a fumble in what was his NFL debut. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Fagnano was spotted clutching his knee in discomfort after Bills defender Ed Oliver took him down on a play in which he was ultimately flagged for roughing the passer, but the quarterback was able to remain in the game. With Jackson ticketed for injured reserve and Huntley at risk of sitting out the game against Jacksonville, Fagnano could be in line to start Thursday, provided he's not too banged up to handle the assignment.

Hamilton departed in the first half Thursday and came back briefly after halftime, but he was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Minter didn't offer any information about whether Hamilton is at risk of missing next Monday's matchup against the Chargers, but it does sound like the veteran defender isn't expected to need an IR stint. Baltimore's injury report this week should provide clarity about Hamilton's chance of suiting up Week 10.

Although Lane is still listed as questionable, his activation from IR puts the rookie wide receiver on track to return for Sunday's game against the Browns. Lane was one of the Ravens' standout players during training camp, so he could be featured prominently in the offense alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in his return.

Per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, Bateman was sporting a no-contact jersey during the session, but his presence on the field in any capacity was a promising sign after he was unable to return to Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. If he's able to take contact in practice at some point over the next two days, Bateman should be in good shape to play this weekend against the Bengals.

Flowers has been no stranger to the injury report this season, having missed a game due to a hamstring injury in Week 2 while also dealing with a foot injury. It's unclear if this latest toe injury is related to his previous foot issue, through which Flowers played in the Week 5 win over Atlanta. Flowers caught eight passes for 53 yards from backup QB Tyler Huntley in that game, and Huntley could be under center again for Sunday's game against the Browns, as Lamar Jackson (ankle) has yet to return to practice. Flowers' practice participation will bear monitoring Friday, though he could still avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game, especially if he practices without limitations Friday like he did Wednesday.

Hawkins has missed the last three games due to a knee injury. While he didn't practice last week, it appears there's a chance he will be back on the practice field ahead of the Week 10 meeting with the Chargers. However, that doesn't mean Hawkins will be ready to play, so K'Von Wallace might remain more involved.

Jackson dislocated and fractured his right thumb on his only play of last Sunday's loss at Buffalo, and while he was placed on injured reserve Thursday, he hasn't been ruled out for the season. Considering the typical recovery for his particular injury is in the 6-to-9-week range, per Rapoport, Jackson has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but the Ravens will need to stay in the playoff hunt.

Brissett's experience gives the team a chance to get back to winning ways after losing four games in a row.

The Ravens already have cycled through three starting QBs this season, and with Tyler Huntley sidelined for the rest of the campaign due to a turf-toe injury and Jackson out indefinitely, the team agreed to a trade with the Cardinals for Brissett, which became official Friday. Brissett was serviceable until he wasn't in Arizona, finishing his 2026 season there with 1,719 yards on 63 percent passing, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions in eight appearances, and he'll have top talents in RB Derrick Henry and WR Zay Flowers to work with in his new locale. It remains to be seen if Baltimore, which is three games in the loss column behind Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the AFC North, can get back to winning ways, but Brissett's performance seemingly will dictate if Jackson makes another appearance by Week 18.

Practice-squad elevation Austin Reed moved up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart ahead of the Week 9 meeting with the Jaguars. While Slovis is inactive, he will be available if Reed and starter Joe Fagnano exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Hamilton tweaked his hip late in the first half, and after he was able to play through it briefly early in the second half, he has now been ruled out for the rest of the team's Week 9 matchup. The 25-year-old will now shift his focus to being ready for the team's Week 10 contest against the Chargers on Nov. 16. In Hamilton's absence, Keyon Martin is a top candidate to see an increase in opportunities in Baltimore's secondary.

Prior to Thursday night's game against the Jaguars, the Ravens made a trio of moves to re-shape their Week 9 QB corps. Along with Jackson, Tyler Huntley (toe) landed on IR, while Austin Reed was added to the team's active roster. As a result, Joe Fagnano (Thursday's starter), Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed are available to face Jacksonville, and then in the coming days Jacoby Brissett will be on his way to Baltimore via a looming trade with the Cardinals. Jackson will miss his team's next four games, at a minimum, and it's possible that his injury could be season ending, an outcome that is already reportedly in the cards for Huntley.

Wiggins is under the weather and initially carried a questionable tag ahead of this contest. However, he won't be out there Thursday, meaning veteran Chidobe Awuzie will presumably take on more snaps at cornerback.

Huntley and Lamar Jackson (thumb) were both placed on injured reserve Thursday. The latter still has at least a slim chance to return this season, while Huntley's injury has been confirmed to be season-ending. Joe Fagnano is set to start Thursday's game against the Jaguars before reinforcements arrive under center in the form of Jacoby Brissett, for whom the Ravens are expected to finalize a trade over the weekend.

Randall was not considered to be limited during Baltimore's walkthrough practice Wednesday but he's still on IR going into game-day. If he's not activated for Week 9, his next opportunity to make his regular-season debut would come in Week 10 versus the Chargers.

Hawkins was again unable to practice during the week, and he will be sidelined for his third consecutive game in Week 9 as he deals with a nagging knee injury. K'Von Wallace figures to continue to see increased reps in the secondary in Hawkins' stead.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter previously noted that Huntley could be a candidate for injured reserve, and Schefter's report suggests that such a transaction is looming. With star QB Lamar Jackson out indefinitely with a right thumb injury, Joe Fagnano is in line make his first career NFL regular-season start Thursday night against the Jaguars, while Kedon Slovis is on hand to serve as his backup. Beyond that, it's likely that the Ravens will add further QB depth in the coming days.

Following Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills, Minter confirmed that Lamar Jackson required thumb surgery and was ticketed for IR, and Huntley looks like he could join Jackson in being deactivated. Minter said that he expects to know by Wednesday whether Huntley will require an IR stint, as the Ravens are presumably still waiting on test results on the signal-caller's right toe injury. At the very least, Huntley is tracking toward sitting out Thursday's game against the Jaguars, as Minter announced Tuesday that undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano will serve as the Ravens' Week 9 starter.

Loop emerged from Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills with a right groin injury, which will keep him out for at least the next four games. Baltimore plans to elevate or sign Jake Moody off its practice squad to take over as its kicker beginning with Thursday's game against Jacksonville. Through Baltimore's first eight contests, Loop went a perfect 18-for-18 on point-after attempts but missed four of his 17 field-goal tries.

Hawkins has already missed the last two games, and now the Ravens are on a short week ahead of Thursday night's date with the Jaguars. K'Von Wallace will continue to see extra defensive snaps if Hamilton is unable to return for Week 9.

Randall was placed on injured reserve to open the regular season due to a neck injury.

Fagnano -- who was inactive for Sunday's contest as the Ravens' emergency No. 3 quarterback -- ended up being pressed into action after starter Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) left the game early. The undrafted rookie out of UConn ended up directing the offense for most of the afternoon, completing just 10 of 21 pass attempts for 91 yards and an interception while adding three yards on three carries and losing a fumble in what was his NFL debut. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Fagnano was spotted clutching his knee in discomfort after Bills defender Ed Oliver took him down on a play in which he was ultimately flagged for roughing the passer, but the quarterback was able to remain in the game. With Jackson ticketed for injured reserve and Huntley at risk of sitting out the game against Jacksonville, Fagnano could be in line to start Thursday, provided he's not too banged up to handle the assignment.

According to Wacker, Minter added that Jackson's injury could be season-ending, with a more definitive timeline likely to be provided once surgery is completed. The injury is another tough break for Jackson, who had missed the previous three contests due to a left high-ankle sprain before departing after playing just one snap in Sunday's loss. With backup Tyler Huntley (toe) also exiting the loss to the Bills with an injury, Baltimore's quarterback situation is in flux heading into a Thursday night matchup with the Jaguars. Third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano finished up Sunday's contest, though he admitted afterward that he was playing in some pain after taking a hit to his knee during the game.

Wiggins sustained the injury during the second half, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Chidobe Awuzie is expected to play more defensive snaps in Wiggins' absence.

After starting the previous three games, Huntley moved into a backup role for Week 8 but took over the offense after Lamar Jackson injured his right thumb on the Ravens' first offensive snap of the game. Huntley himself lasted into the third quarter until he was knocked from the contest with a toe issue. Head coach Jesse Minter told Ryan Mink of the team's official site afterward that Jackson is slated for thumb surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, while Huntley now may be dealing with a multi-week health concern of his own. Huntley will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the official diagnosis and potential prognosis, but if he also needs to miss time, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano (knee) likely will be under center for Baltimore this Thursday against the Jaguars, and perhaps beyond that point.

Randall strung together a trio of full practices during Week 8 prep. He opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a neck injury, and he would need to be activated from IR on Saturday in order to be available to make his NFL debut Sunday. The rookie fifth-rounder's return would give the Ravens more depth in the backfield and another return option on both punts and kickoffs.

Hawkins has missed six-straight practices due to a knee injury, which will result in him being sidelined for a second consecutive game. K'Von Wallace was the listed starter at safety alongside Malaki Starks in Week 7 against the Bengals, although Keyon Martin and Keondre Jackson are also in line for more defensive snaps in Hawkins' absence. Hawkins' next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Jaguars on Thursday.

Ioane suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee this past Sunday against Cincinnati. He did manage a pair of limited practices to end Week 8 prep, but that's not enough for him to suit up Sunday. The Ravens have a short week ahead -- they play Jacksonville next Thursday -- which makes it more challenging for Ioane to avoid missing multiple games.

Hawkins has now been held out of four consecutive practices due to the knee issue and could be trending toward missing a second straight game Sunday in Buffalo. If Hawkins ends up being sidelined against the Bills, Keondre Jackson and K'Von Wallace would be in line for extra snaps alongside starting safety Malaki Starks.

Jackson seems on track to return to action for Sunday's game at Buffalo after logging back-to-back uncapped sessions to begin Week 8 prep. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if he's tagged with a designation for that matchup, but the quarterback is seeking his first game action since Week 4, when he initially suffered a left high-ankle sprain.

Ioane suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee in Week 7 versus the Bengals, and he was initially expected to miss time. It now looks possible that he could be available as soon as this Sunday versus the Bills, but he will receive an official injury designation after Friday's final practice of the week.

Tampa had his 21-day practice window opened by Baltimore last week, and Thursday marked his first full practice. The cornerback has been on injured reserve since mid-September with a knee injury, but he appears to be closing in on a return to action.

Randall was a full participant in his return to practice. The Ravens placed the running back on IR in late August with an undisclosed injury, which has now been revealed to be a neck issue. Randall's instant jump to full participation means the fifth-round rookie could be ready to suit up as soon as Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hamilton was spotted walking off the field with a brace on his right knee during Wednesday's session, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, and the fifth-year defensive back may have picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 7 loss to the Bengals. Hamilton will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity before Sunday's game against the Bills.

Jackson, who hasn't played since Week 4, was able to practice in a limited fashion last week, so his upgrade to full participation Wednesday is a significant development ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Assuming he's able to maintain that level activity Thursday and Friday, Jackson has a chance to approach Week 8 action minus an injury designation.

questionable

Smith may have tweaked his knee during the Ravens' Week 7 loss to the Bengals, when he logged eight tackles (five solo). The veteran linebacker's practice participation over the next two days will determine whether he enters the weekend with an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Baltimore's secondary got shredded by Joe Burrow and wide receiver Tee Higgins in Week 7, and Hamilton ended up with a season-low tackle total. He's still on pace for a career-best year in that category, however, and he's solidly on the IDP radar in most formats going into a Week 8 matchup at Buffalo.

After missing the Ravens' last three games with what he has described as a left high-ankle sprain, Jackson seems to have responded well to taking part in practices last week and looks to be moving toward a return to the lineup this Sunday. The Ravens will presumably prepare for Jackson to take on more reps in practices Wednesday through Friday, and if all goes well, he could head into the weekend without a designation. In Jackson's absence, Tyler Huntley has started each of the last three contests and has guided Baltimore to a 1-2 record while completing 68 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and accounting for five touchdowns.

Per Hensley, on the bright side, Ioane's injury is not believed to be a long-term issue. As of Tuesday, he has not been placed on the Ravens' injured reserve list. It's still not clear exactly how many games he'll have to sit out, but in the meantime, 2025 third-rounder Emory Jones figures to take over as Baltimore's starting right guard.

Joe Burrow was able to throw the ball all over the yard at Baltimore in Week 7, but Smith still ended up with more tackles than any of his teammates. He now has eight-plus tackles in five of his seven games this year, and he profiles as a strong IDP option in most formats heading into a Week 8 tilt at Buffalo.

The coach's comments don't provide much in the way of new insight into the status of Jackson, who has sat out the Ravens' last three games due to what the quarterback has labeled as a left high-ankle sprain. Minter has classified Jackson as day-to-day ahead of the Ravens' past two games, only for the two-time MVP to be ruled out from playing at least a day in advance of both contests. Jackson was at least able to take a notable step forward in his recovery last week by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, so if the signal-caller is able to maintain that level of activity or take on more reps during Week 8 prep, he should have a good chance at returning to action. The Ravens have gone 1-2 and have averaged 17.7 points per game while Tyler Huntley has started in place of Jackson.

Washington is set to miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. He was a limited practice participant in Week 7 prep, so he could be available to return for Week 8 against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1. Aeneas Peebles and John Jenkins are both in line for more defensive snaps in Washington's absence.

Sarratt will be sidelined for six of the Ravens' first seven games of the regular season. His next chance to play is Week 8 against the Bills on Nov. 1, but it looks like the rookie fourth-rounder won't have a role in the offense unless another receiver misses time.

Tyler Huntley will start a third consecutive game while Jackson remains sidelined due to a left ankle sprain. Though Jackson has taken longer than initially anticipated to make a full recovery from the injury, he took some clear steps forward in Week 7 by practicing as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. So long as Jackson can maintain that level of activity or upgrade to full at any point during Week 8 prep, he should get the green light to return to the lineup in Buffalo.

Ioane exited the first quarter of Sunday's game with a knee injury. The rookie right guard's injury has been deemed too severe for him to return to the divisional contest against the Bengals, meaning Emery Jones will likely finish out the game with the Ravens' offensive line.

Jackson drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North tilt after being a limited practice participant all week, but the superstar quarterback will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a high-ankle sprain. As a result, Tyler Huntley will once again start under center for the Ravens, and Jackson's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Robinson suffered a season-ending pectoral injury during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. The outside linebacker will spend the rest of 2026 on IR, allowing the Ravens to carry more depth on the offensive line. The team signed offensive guard Kyle Hergel from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Washington logged three limited sessions in Week 7 prep. The defensive lineman's practice participation looks better than in Week 6, when he missed consecutive sessions to end the week, but it remains unclear if he is set to suit up for Sunday's game. If Washington must miss consecutive weeks, Aeneas Peebles and John Jenkins will likely see more rotational defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Hawkins popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury, which prevented him from practicing each of the next two days. He won't play Sunday, and head coach Jesse Minter suggested Friday that Hawkins could be sidelined beyond Week 7. In Hawkins' absence, K'Von Wallace and Keondre Jackson figure to be the top candidates to start alongside Malaki Starks at safety.

The Ravens listed Jackson as a limited participant all week, with the QB telling reporters Friday that he's "heading in the right direction," per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Jackson clarified that his injury is a high-ankle sprain, and while the swelling has subsided, he's still dealing with considerable pain that may limit his mobility. He suggested that a decision won't be made until Saturday or Sunday, at which point the Ravens may try to keep it under wraps until inactive lists are released at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. If Jackson is out again, Tyler Huntley will make his third straight start.

Robinson was held out of practice all week, indicating that he may have picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Browns. The Ravens will likely place Robinson on injured reserve in the coming days in order to open up a spot on the 53-man roster, which they may fill with another edge rusher. The 2023 fourth-rounder is in the final year of his rookie contract and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. He'll end the year with 18 tackles (nine solo), including 3.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble over six regular-season games, and in his absence, The Ravens will rely more heavily on Zion Young, Ethan Burke and Mike Green.

Jackson joined his teammates for the start of practice Thursday but didn't go through the entire session without limitations, resulting in a second consecutive limited listing. He'll have one more chance Friday to upgrade to full participation as Jackson tries to limit his absence to two games. If Jackson sits out Sunday against the Bengals, Tyler Huntley would make a third consecutive start.

While the Ravens haven't officially confirmed that Jurgens has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, his ability to take contact in the team's first Week 7 practice session is a good sign for his chances of making his team debut Sunday against the Bengals. Assuming he's cleared to play, Jurgens will start at center, while Vega Ioane (ankle) will shift back over to right guard.

Earlier Wednesday, head coach Jesse Minter told Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site that Jackson was able to get in some "limited" work, and the team's first practice report of Week 7 confirmed as much. The limited session marked Jackson's first practice participation since sustaining a left ankle sprain in a Week 4 win over the Titans. Encouraging though it may be that Jackson was back on the field Wednesday, a decision has yet to be made regarding whether he'll be available this Sunday against the Bengals. Jackson's practice participation in the next two days will likely go a long way toward determining his status.

Per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, Bateman was sporting a no-contact jersey during the session, but his presence on the field in any capacity was a promising sign after he was unable to return to Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. If he's able to take contact in practice at some point over the next two days, Bateman should be in good shape to play this weekend against the Bengals.

Tampa was placed on IR in mid-September due to what was diagnosed at the time as a knee injury, but Wednesday's practice report listed ankle and toe injuries for the third-year defensive back. He was a limited participant in his return, and he'll need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Sunday's AFC North tilt against the Bengals. Tampa's return would give the Ravens extra depth in the secondary and another contributor on special teams.

Since spraining his left ankle in an Oct. 4 win over the Titans, Jackson hasn't practiced in any fashion and has been inactive for both of the Ravens' ensuing games. Though Jackson hasn't taken any steps forward in terms of practice activity, Minter noted that the two-time NFL MVP is making progress in his recovery from the ankle injury. The Ravens will hold their first Week 7 practice Wednesday, and if Jackson is on the field in some capacity, it would be a good sign for his chances of returning to action Sunday versus the Bengals.

Listed on Ravens injury reports the past two weeks due to a shoulder issue, Bateman appeared to aggravate the injury late in the first half of Sunday's contest. He failed to haul in his lone target while running 11 routes in the game before the injury kept him out for the entire second half. Fortunately for Bateman, he seems to have avoided a major setback, but his practice activity over the next few days will likely determine whether he suits up next Sunday versus the Bengals. It's also worth noting that rookie Ja'Kobi Lane returned to action Sunday and saw five targets from Tyler Huntley.

Vorhees will miss his second straight week due to a foot injury. Emery Jones is expected to get the start in place of Vorhees. With Cam Jurgens inactive with a concussion, Olaivavega Ioane will play at center.

Bateman appears to have aggravated the shoulder injury that bothered him during Week 6 prep. Now that it's confirmed Bateman won't return Sunday, he'll finish the contest with no catches (on one target). Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester are the Ravens' available wide receivers behind top option Zay Flowers.

Washington was unable to practice Thursday and Friday, so he'll miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Falcons. Ethan Burke and Aeneas Peebles will be the Ravens' rotational defensive ends behind Nnamdi Madubuike and Calais Campbell in the absence of Washington, whose next chance to play is Week 7 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Jurgens will remain in the league's concussion protocol after being limited in practice all week. Olaivavega Ioane will continue to serve as Baltimore's starting center in the absence of Jurgens, whose next chance to play is Week 7 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Although Lane is still listed as questionable, his activation from IR puts the rookie wide receiver on track to return for Sunday's game against the Browns. Lane was one of the Ravens' standout players during training camp, so he could be featured prominently in the offense alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in his return.

Jackson still hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle in Week 4 against the Titans. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter has said that Jackson doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to play, but it's still not a good sign to miss another practice. Tyler Huntley will make his second start of the year if Jackson isn't ready.

Hibner was held out of practice all week due to a hand injury that he sustained during the Ravens' Week 5 overtime win over the Falcons. Per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, Hibner is not considered to be a candidate for injured reserve, so the rookie tight end could be back in action as soon as Week 7 against the Bengals. In Hibner's absence, Josh Cuevas and Nick Vannett are both in line for more snaps on offense while operating behind TE1 Mark Andrews.

Jackson wasn't spotted by reporters earlier in the day, and Baltimore's injury report confirms his second absence in as many days to begin Week 6 prep. The Ravens haven't given up hope regarding their starting QB returning for Sunday's pivotal game in Cleveland, but it would take a return to practice in some capacity from Jackson to provide real optimism regarding his status. Tyler Huntley would make a second consecutive start should Jackson sit out Sunday.

Head coach Jesse Minter told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Bateman "should be fine" for Sunday's game against the Browns, but it's unclear if the Ravens remain as confident in the wideout's health a day later. After opening Week 6 prep as a limited participant, Bateman took a step back in terms of activity Thursday. As long as he can get back on the field in some capacity Friday, Bateman will be in good shape to play this weekend, but another missed practice will put him at risk of missing his first game of the season.

Flowers has been no stranger to the injury report this season, having missed a game due to a hamstring injury in Week 2 while also dealing with a foot injury. It's unclear if this latest toe injury is related to his previous foot issue, through which Flowers played in the Week 5 win over Atlanta. Flowers caught eight passes for 53 yards from backup QB Tyler Huntley in that game, and Huntley could be under center again for Sunday's game against the Browns, as Lamar Jackson (ankle) has yet to return to practice. Flowers' practice participation will bear monitoring Friday, though he could still avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game, especially if he practices without limitations Friday like he did Wednesday.

Washington suffered an ankle injury in the second half and did not return to Sunday's 30-23 overtime win against the Falcons. The defensive lineman's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

Jurgens was able to participate in his first practice as a member of the Ravens after the Eagles traded him to Baltimore on Oct. 7. The center is still working his way through concussion protocol, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and clear protocol prior to Sunday's matchup with Cleveland.

The Ravens opened Lane's 21-day evaluation window to begin Week 6 prep after the rookie wideout missed the team's last four games while recovering from left wrist surgery. The rookie wideout was apparently able to stay on top of his conditioning while he was sidelined from practice over the past month, as he faced no limitations in his return to the field. If Lane is able to maintain full practice activity Thursday and Friday, the Ravens could bring him back from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland.

questionable

Jackson was sidelined for a fourth consecutive practice, after his sprained left ankle kept him from logging any on-field reps in Week 5 before he was ruled out ahead of the Ravens' eventual 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons last Sunday. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, head coach Jesse Minter said after Wednesday's session that Jackson is considered day-to-day, and the Ravens aren't yet ruling him out from starting this Sunday against the Browns. If Jackson ends up missing another game, Tyler Huntley would direct the Baltimore offense for a second straight week.

questionable

Hibner was able to play through the hand injury he suffered during Sunday's game at Atlanta, but it looks like it's still bothering him as the Ravens begin preparing for Week 6. He'll likely need to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday to give himself a realistic chance to play Sunday at Cleveland.

questionable

Per Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Bateman was spotted with a non-contact jersey Wednesday and was able to fit in some on-field work behind closed doors after not working out with the team during the open portion of the session. Though the wideout is on the injury report for a second straight week on account of the shoulder issue, head coach Jesse Minter said after Wednesday's practice that Bateman "should be fine" for Sunday's game against the Browns, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

The Ravens will have a better sense of Jurgens' status for this Sunday's road game against the Browns during or shortly after Wednesday's practice. Jurgens was acquired by Baltimore from Philadelphia on Oct. 7 and is expected to serve as the Ravens' starting center once fully healthy.

The rookie third-rounder's offseason momentum was stymied when he fractured his wrist during the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts. Minter noted that Lane has kept up his conditioning while on IR, and there's a chance that the 22-year-old wideout could be back on the field for practice as soon as Wednesday, though it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Jackson was held out of Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained during the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Titans. Minter added that he wasn't sure whether Jackson would be cleared to practice Wednesday, and the superstar quarterback's participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he or Tyler Huntley starts against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Vorhees will be unavailable for Week 5 after suffering a foot injury in Week 4 against Tennessee. John Simpson and Olaivavega Ioane likely will to operate as the team's starting offensive guards versus the Falcons.

Washington is dealing with an apparent ankle injury late in the second half, and his status for the final stretch of the contest is now unclear. In his absence, Nnamdi Madubuike and Calais Campbell will operare as the team's primary defensive ends.

The Eagles traded Jurgens to the Ravens on Wednesday. The center remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's contest, meaning fourth-string center Olaivavega Ioane will start to protect backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in Sunday's game due to the injury to star quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle).

Lane is eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 6, and while Minter didn't get into specifics, it does sounds like the rookie wideout is expected back fairly soon. Lane underwent surgery in mid-September after fracturing his wrist in a Week 1 win over the Colts. He played 24 snaps on offense in the first half of that game, catching one of three targets for 11 yards, with a short TD catch called back due to a penalty. Lane could be the team's No. 2 or 3 wide receiver when he returns.

After Jackson didn't practice all week, this comes as no surprise. Tyler Huntley is expected to get the start in Jackson's place after he handled first-team reps in practice this week. It's a green-light spot for the Falcons defense in fantasy.

Humphrey was a limited participant in Friday's practice after logging DNPs in consecutive sessions to start Week 5 prep. The outside cornerback continues to deal with multiple injuries he sustained in the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Titans, and it is unclear if he will be able to overcome the issues in time for Sunday's contest.

Hendrickson has not practiced since undergoing surgery for his finger injury during Week 4. The outside linebacker and primary pass rusher for the Ravens' defense will miss consecutive weeks as he continues to recover from the procedure, leaving Mike Green as the primary pass rusher opposite Tavius Robinson.

With Flowers having been limited in practice throughout the week due to the foot issue, his status remains up in the air heading into Sunday night. He's been playing through injuries all season up to this point and could be looking at another muted workload in Atlanta. If Flowers can't play, WR Rashod Bateman and TE Mark Andrews will be Tyler Huntley's top targets.

Jackson is set for a second consecutive absence to begin Week 5 prep, which doesn't bode well for his availability for Sunday night's game in Atlanta. He didn't return for the second half of this past Sunday's win over the Titans and was replaced by Tyler Huntley, who will start against the Falcons if Jackson isn't available.

Humphrey has missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he nurses a calf injury that he suffered in Week 4 against the Titans, as well as a hamstring injury. The cornerback will have one more chance to return to practice before Sunday night's matchup with Atlanta. If he is unavailable for the contest, Chidobe Awuzie would likely draw a start in his stead.

It was the second straight limited practice for Flowers, who is now working through a foot injury in advance of Week 5. Flowers has been dynamic when on the field this year with 18 grabs for 352 yards and two touchdowns, but he's been limited to just 88 snaps across three games. Look for Flowers' status to gain more clarity Friday when the final injury report of the week is released.

Though Jurgens may not be ready to play Week 5 in Atlanta after landing in the NFL's concussion protocol Monday coming out of his final game with Philadelphia over the weekend, he fills a critical need at center for the Ravens. Baltimore has already lost its top three options on the depth chart at center, with Danny Pinter (knee) out for the season and with Jovaughn Gwyn (ankle) and Ethan Pocic (knee) recently joining him on injured reserve. Rookie first-round pick Olaivavega Ioane started at center for the Ravens in this past Sunday's win over the Titans, but he'll shift back over to his more natural spot at right guard once Jurgens clears the protocol.

Smythe tore his Achilles during Sunday's game versus the Titans, and he will now have to spend the remainder of the season on IR. His absence should open up more reps at tight end for rookie fourth-rounder Matthew Hibner.

Head coach Jesse Minter was non-committal on Jackson's status for the Ravens' Week 5 matchup with the Falcons following practice, noting that "there'll be a point later in the week" where the team "figures out where he's at." Per Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun, Minter also noted Wednesday that Jackson could miss the majority of the practice week and still play Sunday, but at this point, the two-time MVP seems more likely than not to sit out in Atlanta while he manages a sprained left ankle. Tyler Huntley took the reps with the first-team offense during Wednesday's practice and would be in line to start if Jackson is sidelined this weekend.

It's a new injury for Bateman, and the same can be said for Zay Flowers, who was limited with a foot injury Wednesday. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) set to miss Week 5 against the Falcons, Bateman is an uninspiring fantasy bet if he plays.

Hendrickson was spotted with a large cast on his right hand during Wednesday's practice, which he observed from the sidelines in street clothes. He's recovering from right finger surgery that forced him to miss Week 4 against the Titans, and if he cannot practice over the next two days, then Hendrickson would likely be held out of this Sunday's road game against the Falcons.

Flowers has dealt with hamstring issues off and on since training camp, and now he has a new foot issue heading into Week 5. He was able to get some work in during Wednesday's session, but it didn't come during the media viewing period. The Ravens' outlook on offense is already tenuous, with Lamar Jackson's ankle injury preventing him from practicing Wednesday. Flowers still has time to ramp up to a full practice before the end of the week, however.

The Ravens had been concerned that Smythe ruptured his Achilles during Sunday's win over the Titans, and the MRI ended up confirming those fears. The 31-year-old tight end served mainly as a blocker to begin the season while contributing a four-yard reception on two targets. He'll be ticketed for free agency in the spring after signing a one-year, $3 million deal with Baltimore in the offseason.

questionable

Vorhees made his first start of the 2026 campaign Sunday. However, his day is now finished due to a foot injury. With Vorhees ruled out, Emery Jones took over and will handle things the rest of the way.

Humphrey injured his calf in the first half, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran corner to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Chidobe Awuzie will continue to operate in an elevated role defensively in Humphrey's absence.

Stanley made his return to action Sunday after missing Week 3 while nursing a toe injury. After the victory, the left tackle noted he is still dealing with the issue, and that the injury was sustained in the first half of the team's Week 1 win against the Colts. Stanley seems likely to play Week 5 versus Atlanta, and he's hopeful the injury can heal on its own.

Pocic hurt his knee in Week 3 against Dallas and will need to sit out at least four games. Jovaughn Gwyn (ankle) was also moved to IR on Saturday, leaving Olaivavega Ioane to handle starting center duties for the Ravens moving forward.

This move was anticipated after Gwyn was diagnosed with a fractured fibula earlier in the week and given a 2-to-3 month return timetable. Ethan Pocic (knee) also landed on injured reserve Saturday, so Baltimore will have to rely on rookie first-rounder Olaivavega Ioane to handle center duties Sunday versus Tennessee and for several weeks beyond.

Sarratt was available for the Week 2 loss to the Saints. However, with Zay Flowers (hamstring) cleared to suit up after missing the meeting with New Orleans, Sarratt will be inactive in Week 3.

Fagnano was also the Ravens' emergency signal-caller for the first two games of the 2026 campaign. That trend will likely continue as long as Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are available.

Hendrickson drew the questionable tag for Sunday's home opener after logging a limited practice Friday, and it looks like the veteran pass rusher will play through the injury for the time being. He logged one solo tackle in his Ravens debut against the Colts in Week 1 as the team's primary edge rusher opposite Tavius Robinson, with Zion Young and Mike Green providing depth at the position.

Tampa was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints due to his knee issue. The cornerback is the primary depth option for the Ravens' defense, meaning Chidobe Awuzie is now the primary backup if Marlon Humphrey or Nate Wiggins goes down with an injury. Tampa will now need to miss four games on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster.

Typically, players listed as doubtful on final injury reports of the week are inactive on game days, but the Ravens got ahead of the issue and deemed Flowers unable to play one day prior. He thus will miss at least one contest as a result of the hamstring issue he suffered in Week 1, and Baltimore will roll with a receiving corps of Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester in the meantime.

Simpson missed the first two practices of the week while working through a groin injury, but he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a limited practice Friday. Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones would be the top candidates to start at left guard if Simpson is not cleared to play.

Madubuike logged a trio of limited practices for a second consecutive week, but he'll remain out in Week 2. The defensive tackle is still recovering from a significant neck injury he sustained last September but should be ready to suit up in Week 3 or Week 4, given he wasn't placed on IR at the start of the regular season.

Stanley missed the first two practices of the week due to a toe injury, but he was able to earn the questionable tag for Week 2 after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. Carson Vinson figures to be the top candidate to start at left tackle if Stanley is not cleared to play against New Orleans.

Buchanan missed the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The inside linebacker was once again limited in practice throughout the week. Buchanan did not start the regular season on IR, so the team likely expects to have the 23-year-old back by Week 4, at the latest, for a matchup against the Titans.

Lane left the Ravens' Week 1 win at Indianapolis with a wrist injury that eventually was confirmed to include a fracture. With his move to IR, he'll be required to miss at least the next four games, meaning his next chance for game action will come Oct. 18 at Cleveland. As long as Lane is sidelined, Zay Flowers (hamstring), Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker (groin), Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester will be among those that could see additional action at wide receiver for Baltimore.

Madubuike was limited at practice throughout the entire week before he was ultimately unable to play during the team's 41-23 win over Indianapolis in Week 1. The defensive lineman is on the cusp of appearing in his first contest since suffering a neck injury last September, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his participation and log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Saints.

questionable

Buchanan was unable to play Week 1 versus the Colts after logging three limited practices, and he appears to have picked up where he left off by opening the week with another limited session. The linebacker is working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Hendrickson notched one solo tackle in his regular-season debut with Baltimore during the team's 41-23 win over the Colts in Week 1. It appears as if the 31-year-old may have suffered a finger injury during the game, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup against New Orleans.

Flowers aggravated a hamstring issue from the preseason during Sunday's win over the Colts. He had piled up a career-high 150 yards in the first half but did not return to action after the aggravation. Coach Jesse Minter called Flowers day-to-day earlier Wednesday. Flowers' next chance to practice will come Thursday, but at this stage his status for Week 2 is murky at best. Baltimore's receiving depth is being tested early as rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) is on injured reserve after undergoing surgery.

Lane's NFL debut in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts came to an early end due to the wrist injury, which was confirmed to be a fracture after the game. An upcoming MRI along with additional testing on the wrist should help the Ravens gain a better understanding of the severity of the fracture, but at the very least, the rookie third-round pick is expected to miss the team's Week 2 game against the Saints. Lane's likely absence could open up more opportunities for Devontez Walker (groin) and Eljiah Sarratt (coach's decision), both of whom sat out the season opener.

Minter's comments essentially match what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Monday, as Flowers' left hamstring injury isn't considered serious and is unlikely to result in the wideout missing much time, if any. Before departing Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Flowers had a banner day, recording five receptions for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown. If Flowers is able to make enough progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury as Week 2 prep rolls along and is cleared to play next Sunday versus the Saints, he should be locked in as quarterback Lamar Jackson's top target.

Tampa went to the locker room late in the first quarter, and tests have revealed that his knee injury is severe enough for him to remain sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Chidobe Awuzie will be the main rotational option at outside corner behind Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins in Tampa's absence.

Flowers has been in and out of practice seemingly all summer, but he's always been eyeing Week 1 as his target date to be 100 percent, and his return to practice this week puts him on track for the opener in 10 days. The wide receiver inked a big extension with Baltimore during the offseason and is returning as Lamar Jackson's undisputed No. 1 pass-catching option.

Kone was cleared to participate in training camp after fully recovering from a torn MCL and ACL, but he picked up a lower-body injury during practice last week. The injury is severe enough for Kone to start the 2026 season on injured reserve, meaning he'll be required to miss at least the first four games. A Week 5 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 11 represents the earliest opportunity for the second-year cornerback to return to action.

Randall played in two of the team's three preseason contests, turning 17 carries into 71 yards and a score while also catching four of six targets for 47 yards. The running back missed the second game of the preseason with an undisclosed injury, and it's possible that he aggravated the previous injury in Baltimore's preseason finale against the Commanders on Friday. Randall will now be force to sit out at least four contests to begin the year while on IR, so the earliest he'll be able to make his NFL regular-season debut will be Oct. 11 in Atlanta. In his absence, Rasheen Ali is expected to operate as the Ravens' No. 3 option in the backfield behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to begin the 2026 campaign.

The Ravens deemed Madubuike's neck injury surmountable enough that he will likely be able to play before Week 5 of the regular season. While the star defensive tackle may not be able to suit up for Week 1, the team clearly thinks he is close enough that they will utilize a 53-man roster spot on the 28-year-old from the jump. While Madubuike finishes his recovery, Broderick Washington will likely start alongside Travis Jones and Calais Campbell on the interior defensive line.

Kone exited practice early with a lower-body injury Monday and he remained unavailable Wednesday. The Ravens will finish the preseason with a matchup against the Commanders on Friday, and it is unclear if the cornerback will be able to play in the contest.

Pinter suffered a torn patella tendon in his right knee during Baltimore's joint practice with the Vikings on Aug. 19. As expected, the offensive lineman will now miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR.

Flowers contended with a bruised quadriceps earlier in camp, but it's unclear if his consecutive absences from practice are related to that injury or if he's nursing a new health concern. Though Flowers isn't in uniform Wednesday, he was at least in attendance for practice and was working out off to the side, which bodes well for his chances of being available for the Ravens' Week 1 game against the Colts on Sept. 13. Flowers will likely miss Friday's preseason finale versus the Commanders, though that might have been the case even if he was 100 percent healthy.

Madubuike suffered a serious neck injury during Week 2 of the 2025 season, but he was activated from the PUP list in late July and has been participating in training camp practices. He hasn't played in either of the Ravens' two preseason games and is unlikely to suit up Friday against the Commanders, and he's also far from a guarantee to suit up in Week 1 of the upcoming campaign. Broderick Washington and CJ Okoye would take on elevated roles at defensive end alongside Calais Campbell if Madubuike is sidelined to start the regular season.

Robinson was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Buchanan passed his physical just eight months after tearing his ACL during the 2025 Week 12 divisional showdown against the Bengals. The inside linebacker can now take the next step in his recovery, working his way through padded practice. With such an early activation date, there is a good chance the initial prediction of a Week 1 return date is not only possible, but likely.

Buchanan continues to progress in his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered in December. Minter praised the second-year linebacker's rehab and expressed optimism that Buchanan would be available for Week 1 in Indianapolis. Buchanan logged 93 tackles (49 solo), including 0.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games in his rookie campaign.

Jones sustained a pec injury during the 2026 offseason and was sidelined to begin training camp, but he's now back practicing for the first time this offseason. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $40.5 million extension with Baltimore in the offseason after totaling 47 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, as well as a forced fumble and a recovery in 2025, all career bests. Jones is set up to continue his duties as the starting nose tackle for Baltimore alongside Trey Hendrickson, who should attract more attention from opposing offensive lines to take some of the attention away from the fifth-year defensive tackle.

Jenkins passed his physical and is all set to return to training camp activities in full capacity. The starting defensive lineman could be primed for a productive year considering the return of Nnamdi Madubuike and the addition of Trey Hendrickson on the edge should draw plenty of blockers and leave Jenkins in his fair share of one-on-one matchups.
