The Baltimore Ravens elevated defensive end Carl Lawson and linebacker Chandler Martin to their game day roster for their matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Lawson will make his Ravens debut on Thursday night after signing with the team back in October. He was expected to provide a boost to Baltimore’s pass rush right away, but he ended up waiting more than a month for his first action.

This is Martin’s third elevation in as many weeks. He has replaced fellow undrafted rookie linebacker Jay Higgins on special teams after he suffered a knee injury that forced him onto injured reserve....

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Justice Hill and defensive tackle Taven Bryan on injured reserve on Thursday ahead of their matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Both players will be out for at least four games. Their earliest return would come in Week 17 against the Packers.

Hill missed the Ravens’ last two games with a toe injury; upon returning to practice this week, he went down after hurting his neck. He did not participate in Tuesday or Wednesday’s session and his speedy transfer to IR does not bode well for his status moving forward. Neck injuries are notoriously fickle,...

It was nearly a year ago in very similar circumstances: a Thursday night game in November, in Baltimore, with the Purple Rising threads. The Ravens were fighting the Steelers for the top of the AFC North, and the Bengals were fighting for their postseason lives. In a shootout fit for primetime, Baltimore’s defense ended up allowing 35 points and nearly 500 yards of offense, another embarrassing moment for a unit that had struggled for much of the season.

On Thursday night, the Ravens are set to host the Bengals again. Baltimore knows that their most likely path to the postseason...

Welcome back to another edition of 5 Questions, a weekly collaboration with other SB Nation sites to preview the Ravens’ upcoming matchups. This week, the Ravens are playing the Cincinnati Bengals, so Anthony Cosenza of Cincy Jungle is on hand to answer Baltimore Beatdown’s questions about Week 13.

1. What changes are you expecting going from Joe Flacco to Joe Burrow?

Honestly, this week, not much. Joe Burrow likes to adlib and create more post-structure, so that will differ, but in a short week, I don’t expect wholesale changes. Burrow likes to operate more out of the spread formation and...

Baltimore Ravens (6-5)

The Ravens won their fifth straight game last week and pulled even with the Steelers at 6-5 overall. By virtue of tiebreakers, though, the Ravens are now atop the division. While the Ravens’ turnaround after a 1-5 start has been more than commendable, they continue to win in unimpressive fashion.

Baltimore’s offense was sluggish and uninspiring against the New York Jets, similar to their win over the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago. Lamar Jackson had a second consecutive subpar performance with no touchdowns as the Ravens were outgained by the Jets in total yards. Thanks to...

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving night. Both teams have a lot riding on this game, as the Ravens look to maintain their newfound lead in the AFC North while the Bengals hope to salvage their season in Joe Burrow’s return. The staff of Baltimore Beatdown gives their bold predictions for the divisional showdown.

Many are predicting a Thanksgiving shootout in Baltimore, so I’ll go against the grain and predict a relatively low-scoring contest. Sure, the Bengals’ bottom-ranked defense may offer a get-right game for the Ravens’ offense, but can they turn things around...

The Baltimore Ravens ruled out defensive tackle Taven Bryan (ankle) and running back Justice Hill (neck) for their Week 13 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. No other Ravens have an injury designation for Thursday’s game.

The Bengals officially activated quarterback Joe Burrow from injured reserve on Wednesday. He has no designation for Thursday’s game and will make his much-anticipated return from a severe case of turf toe that required surgery.

Here are the Bengals’ final Week 13 injury designations:

Questionable

• DE Cam Sample (hamstring)

Out

• HB Tahj Brooks (concussion)
• WR Jermaine Burton (ankle)
• DE Trey Hendrickson...

Week 12 of the NFL season saw a new team take the lead of the AFC North. Let’s check in on the Ravens and the rest of their divisional opponents!

Baltimore Ravens (6-5)

The Ravens have a record above .500 for the first time this season following a 23-10 win over the New York Jets. Baltimore now leads the AFC North since they have the tiebreaker advantage over the Steelers.

The Ravens offense had another frustrating outing this week, outside of a couple of touchdown drives. Lamar Jackson’s health has been a topic of discussion; he has dealt...

The Ravens play their second Thursday Night Football game of the season, getting a Thanksgiving matchup against a divisional rival in the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are 3-8 but set to get franchise quarterback Joe Burrow back from injury for this game. Can the Ravens avoid spoiling the holiday like the last two seasons?

1) Long drives on offense

There can be no excuse this week. I know Lamar Jackson isn’t healthy and doesn’t look like himself. I know that it’s a short week and it can be hard to game-plan. It doesn’t matter — it simply can’t...

Here is the Ravens’ full Tuesday injury report (* denotes change in status):

Full participation

• CB Keyon Martin (rib) *
• QB Lamar Jackson (toe) *

Limited participation

This story will be updated with more information.

The Ravens had another grind-it-out win against the New York Jets. The rookie class is above .500 for the first time in their NFL careers. Let’s get into it.

Malaki Starks

Starks had another quiet but relatively mistake-free day, finishing with four tackles. He continues to be a steady presence in the run game, allowing the Ravens to trust him near the line of scrimmage or to fill holes when needed. It wasn’t the secondary’s best day of coverage as they allowed multiple pass plays of 15-plus yards. Starks had a touchdown-saving tackle on Breece Hall’s 40-yard catch-and-run....
