Baltimore Beatdown
Lamar Jackson was not the only Raven to pick up an injury in Baltimore’s Week 10 victory over the Vikings.
Six other players – including wide receiver Rashod Bateman, tight end Isaiah Likely, and safety Malaki Starks – were added to the injury report this week. Bateman is expected to miss time with a high ankle sprain. Undrafted rookie linebacker Jay Higgins was also absent with a knee injury, but Harbaugh said on Monday that it was not season-ending.
Here is the Ravens’ full Wednesday injury report:
Did not participate
Limited participation
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey will also miss at least one game after having a pin inserted into his finger, which was dislocated in practice last Friday. Humphrey played through the injury for most of Sunday’s game with his hand heavily wrapped. He still managed to make an interception, but the use of his left hand appeared to be limited as the game went on. He eventually left and was replaced by undrafted rookie Keyon Martin, who made a few tackles to snuff out the Vikings’ last drive.
Humphrey said after the game that he had never dealt with an injury of this nature. It’s never ideal to lose a star cornerback, but the Browns and the Jets are the Ravens’ next two opponents. both teams have struggled through the air this year – and New York will be without star wideout Garrett Wilson – so it’s hard to ask for better timing for Humphrey’s absence.
Browns defensive end Alex Wright was the only player to miss practice in Cleveland, though 10 of his teammates were limited participants. Wright has three sacks and a 48% snap share this season, but he has not consistently generated pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
