vmax Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 Head Coach John Harbaugh said wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring), running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and tight end Nick Boyle (knee) all "have a chance" to return against Minnesota. Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe (back) could also return after resuming practice last week. Watkins has missed the last three games, Murray missed the Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals, while Boyle has been out all season. "They all have a chance," Harbaugh said. "Whether they make it or not is up in the air."Several Injured Ravens ‘Have a Chance’ to Return vs. Vikings (baltimoreravens.com) Quote

papasmurfbell Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 I never liked the signing bc he is always hurt. His rookie yr is the only one he has ever made it to all 16. He averages 12 games per yr. That is not good. Quote

vmax Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Cornerback Chris Westry has been activated to return to practice Tuesday, kicking off a 21-day window for him to practice before needing to be activated to the 53-man roster. Westry suffered a knee injury in the Ravens' Week 1 opener in Las Vegas and has missed the past six games. The 6-foot-4, 199-pound cornerback was a training camp and preseason standout.Ravens Activate Chris Westry to Return to Practice (baltimoreravens.com) Orlando Brown did not look good last night. Villanueva has blown 15 blown blocks in 266 pass blocking snaps this season. Orlando Brown Jr., by contrast, has 16 blown blocks in 332 pass-blocking snaps for the Kansas City Chiefs this season. He was not worth the money to keep him. Some interesting stats on the Ravens from a good article in the Sun....... Quote 1,253: Tight end Mark Andrews is on pace to finish the season with 1,253 receiving yards, which would shatter Todd Heap’s single-season mark (855) for a Ravens tight end.

papasmurfbell Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Zues is a right tackle. At some point he will realize this and slide to his natural position. Quote
oldno82 Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 He definitely looked uncomfortable playing left tackle the other night. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 He has some of the hindrances his father had but not as glaring. He can make a lot of money just settling in and being a top 3 RT in this league. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Also he needs to be in the right system that accentuates the size and power but hides the foot quickness. A run first road grading system like Tenn has or here. I think Dallas has transitioned away from where he can shine. Quote

I feel great. 110%." Jackson has been hit a league-high 110 times this season. Only one other QB has been hit more than 90 times this season (Jalen Hurts at 100).” Jamison Hensley on Twitter “The Ravens, who rank 3rd in the NFL in total yards, could get back WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and TE Nick Boyle (knee) for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "I don’t really know the limit with our offense," quarterback Lamar Jackson said.” Jamison Hensley on Twitter “Coming off their bye, the Ravens had seven players missing at Wednesday’s practice: RB Latavius Murray (ankle) WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) OL Patrick Mekari (ankle) DE Derek Wolfe (back/hip) OLB Justin Houston DT Brandon Williams QB Tyler Huntley” And The Quote Of The Day!... Jamison Hensley on Twitter “The Ravens moved into first place in the AFC North during their bye week. "It’s great to be in first place. It doesn’t matter," John Harbaugh said.

Expand I don't know. Lamar looked and sounded great today. Said he's 110%. He's been hit 110 times to lead the league in that category. Listening to Lamar it sounds like Boyle will play Sunday. Quote
oldno82 Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Lamar is taking too many punches---hard ones too. We need to somehow protect him better and revive the running attack with the running backs. He won't be able to do it all without getting hurt. He's been carrying the whole offense on his back. Quote
tsylvester Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Boyle coming back will help with the running game. He is the best tight end blocker, good for one penalty a game, but he has been a piece missed from the running game. Westerly, if he can play, will really help the defense, big, fast, good instincts. He can help shut down Diggs if he plays. Quote
