Observations

  • Joe Burrow (toe) was officially activated to the 53-man roster off the Reserve/Injured list along with Daijahn Anthony (hamstring). Marco Wilson (hamstring), who was listed as a non-participant for both Monday and Tuesday, was taken off the injury report as he’s now on I.R. for at least the next four weeks.
  • Tee Higgins (concussion), Trey Hendrickson (hip/pelvis), and Tahj Brooks (concussion) have all been declared out, as expected. Jermaine Burton (ankle) also popped up with an ankle injury and is declared out as well. Burton has yet to play this season.
  • Samaje Perine (ankle) went full and should be good to play, especially with Brooks out. Cam Sample (oblique) is perhaps the only game-time decision as he’s questionable after being limited all week.

Observations

  • Lamar Jackson (toe) went full again and is good to square off against Burrow. Jackson is 6-1 all-time against Burrow. 
  • Taven Bryan (knee) and Justice Hill (neck) are the only two Ravens who have been declared out for Thursday. Bryan didn’t practice at all this week, and Hill popped up on the injury report late and will be sidelined.
  • Rashod Bateman (ankle), Kyle Hamilton (ankle), Travis Jones (ankle) all went full after being limited Tuesday. All will play. Ronnie Stanley (rest) should be good as well despite having a half-rest day Wednesday.
