Lamar Jackson stayed out of practice again Thursday, keeping everyone on edge about the Ravens’ Sunday night game against the Falcons. His ankle injury has had him stuck in rehab all week, which is a major red flag for their upcoming prime-time matchup. Tyler Huntley is prepping to start if Jackson can’t go, with rookie Joe Fagnano ready as backup.
Big Names Returning, But Not Everyone Is Out of the Woods
While Jackson’s status is definitely the biggest question mark, there’s some good news for the Ravens. Safety Kyle Hamilton, who was limited with an ankle injury on Wednesday, returned to full participation Thursday. That’s a huge boost for the secondary. Plus, wide receiver Rashod Bateman and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, who were both limited or out Wednesday, were full participants. Stanley has been dealing with rest/toe/ankle issues, so getting him fully back on the field is massive. Even wide receiver Chris Moore (ankle) went from limited Wednesday to full participation Thursday. It shows guys are pushing to get back out there.
Still Too Many Crucial Pieces Sidelined
Despite some positive steps, the injury report is still too long for comfort. Wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) remained limited in practice, which isn’t what you want to hear from a key offensive weapon. Offensive guard John Simpson (groin) also stayed limited. And it gets worse: outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (hamstring, calf), and center Cam Jurgens (concussion) all missed practice again Thursday. They just traded for Jurgens from the Eagles on Wednesday, and he’s already on the sidelines. Offensive guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) did return to limited work after missing Wednesday, but they need these guys healthy.
The Ravens are staring down a Sunday night battle against the Falcons, and the depth chart is looking a little thin in some critical spots. With so many key players either limited or completely out, especially with Jackson’s status up in the air, this game is going to be a real test of their resilience. Everyone will be watching to see who actually suits up when kickoff rolls around.
