Most of the Ravens’ rookie class will be out for Thursday night’s NFL season opener against the host Kansas City Chiefs.

Safety Beau Brade, cornerback T.J. Tampa, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, center Nick Samac and wide receiver Devontez Walker were among seven players declared inactive before kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium.

Veteran defensive lineman Brent Urban and second-year offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu will also not play. Urban is perhaps the most surprising name, leaving the Ravens with Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones, Michael Pierce and Broderick Washington along the interior defensive line.

Brade, a former River Hill and University of Maryland star, was the only undrafted player to make the 53-man roster, but the Ravens have a deep safety room led by All-Pro Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, Eddie Jackson and seventh-round draft pick Sanoussi Kane.

Isaac, a third-round pick, missed practice this week as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Tampa, a fourth-round selection, missed time earlier this offseason after having sports hernia surgery. Walker, a fellow fourth-round pick, dealt with a rib injury during the preseason and did not make a push to unseat veteran Nelson Agholor as the team’s third wide receiver behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Running back Rasheen Ali, a fifth-round pick, was listed as doubtful before the game and later placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the first four games. The Ravens signed linebacker Josh Ross to the active roster and also activated defensive back Ka’dar Hollman and running back John Kelly from the practice squad for Thursday’s game.

For Kansas City, former Ravens wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was declared out Wednesday with a separated shoulder. Also inactive are tight end Peyton Hendershot, offensive lineman C.J. Hanson, offensive tackle Ethan Driskell and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu.
