The Baltimore Ravens ruled out wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) and cornerback Keyon Martin (rib) for their upcoming matchup with the New York Jets.
Every other Raven who popped up on the injury report
this week were full participants and have no designation for Sunday’s game. That list includes:
- QB Lamar Jackson (ankle)
- S Kyle Hamilton (shoulder/groin)
- RB Justice Hill (toe)
- CB Marlon Humphrey (finger)
- TE Isaiah Likely (calf)
- OT Ronnie Stanley (illness)
- LB Roquan Smith (hamstring)
- OG Andrew Vorhees (foot)
Crucially, Jackson and Hamilton, the Ravens’ most important players on either side of the ball, are off the injury report. Hill and Humphrey will both return to the lineup after missing last week’s visit to Cleveland. Changes of a forced change at guard due to Vorhees’ foot injury have evaporated with his progression in practice.
The Jets did not rule any players out, but four were designated as questionable. They are:
- LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring)
- EDGE Will McDonald IV (quad)
- RB Kene Nwangwu (hamstring)
- DL Harrison Phillips (foot)
McCrary-Ball could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s game. He would take up core special teams duties and could rotate in on defense, as the Jets have been using several different players at linebacker this year.
McDonald leads the Jets with 7.0 sacks, with fellow 2022 draftee Jermaine Johnson in a distance second place with 3.0 sacks. That would be a major loss for New York’s pass rush, especially having already lost Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline. McDonald progressed to full practice participation on Friday and seems to be trending towards playing on Sunday.
Nwangwu is the Jets’ primary returner and only got in one limited practice on Friday, which will likely make him a game-time decision. Phillips was limited all three days, but seems likely to play through his injury after starting the first 10 games of the year.
