Ravens vs. Browns inactives: Jaire Alexander healthy scratched

With 90 minutes remaining before kickoff, the Baltimore Ravens have announced their inactives for their Week 2 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Inactives

• CB Jaire Alexander
• RB Keaton Mitchell
• FB Patrick Ricard (calf)
• TE Isaiah Likely (foot)
• OT Carson Vinson
• OLB David Ojabo

Alexander ended the week with no game designation, meaning him being inactive for today’s game is a healthy scratch. Last week, Alexander struggled against the Buffalo Bills late in the fourth quarter. Throughout the week, Head Coach John Harbaugh said they needed to get Alexander “right.” Before Sunday’s game, Alexander went through a lengthy pre-game workout, which is uncommon for a player to conduct if expected to play in the game.

In Alexander’s stead will be undrafted rookie Reuben Lowery III. This will be his first NFL game after being inactive against the Bills in Week 1.

This is Keaton Mitchell’s second game scratched. Earlier this week, Harbaugh mentioned how it’s tough for Mitchell to see the field on offense without it being set plays for him, in which the defense can key in when he is on the field to counteract him. He also said Mitchell needs to improve on special teams, which has given Rasheen Ali the nod over him.
