Wide receiver Rashod Bateman was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, raising some real questions about his status for the Ravens’ upcoming Monday night game against the Chargers. This isn’t just a minor thing either, as Bateman is dealing with a calf injury.
Key Ravens Battle Injuries Ahead of Chargers Game
Bateman has put up 20 catches for 294 yards and a score this season, so he’s a piece of that offense, and a calf injury is never something you just shake off. He wasn’t the only one on the limited list either. Right guard Vega Ioane is battling both knee and shoulder issues, which is brutal for an offensive lineman. Safety Jaylinn Hawkins also had a limited session because of a knee injury, and he actually sat out last Thursday’s loss to the Jaguars, so you know that one is serious. It’s never a good look when key guys are banged up this deep into the season.
Who’s Good to Go for Baltimore?
It wasn’t all bad news coming out of practice though, which is at least something to hang onto. Running backs Rasheen Ali, who’s been dealing with an ankle, and Adam Randall, with neck and hamstring issues, were both full participants. That’s a good sign for their backfield depth. Safety Kyle Hamilton (hip), tight end Matthew Hibner (hand), and cornerback Nate Wiggins (illness) also got through full practices. At least some of the squad is trending in the right direction.
The Ravens are gearing up for that Monday night matchup against the Chargers. Keeping an eye on these injury reports leading up to game day is going to be crucial to see what kind of team they’ll be able to field. It’s go time, and they need their best guys out there.
