ExtremeRavens Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago An important defensive piece was added to the Ravens’ injury report Thursday. Outside linebacker Mike Green, a 2025 second-round draft pick out of Marshall with 22 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks this season, was limited Thursday with an ankle injury. Green didn’t appear on Wednesday’s injury report. If he can’t play Sunday against the Browns or is limited, it puts added responsibility on the plate of edge rushers Kyle Van Noy, David Ojabo and new addition Dre’Mont Jones, a Cleveland native. Linebacker Trenton Simpson is also an option to rush the passer from the edge. Green has yet to miss a game during his short NFL career, logging at least 40 snaps in eight consecutive games. Green was the only limited participant Thursday, although wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger), linebacker Jay Higgins IV (knee) and running back Justice Hill (toe) were all absent. Bateman, Humphrey and Higgins are expected to miss Sunday’s game with Hill’s status less certain but trending toward an absence. If Hill can’t play, third-year speedster Keaton Mitchell will assume the backup running back role behind Derrick Henry. Mitchell (knee) was a full participant Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) was a full participant after missing Wednesday’s practice, and tight end Isaiah Likely (hip) and safety Malaki Starks (knee) also practiced fully after being limited the previous day. Jackson is expected to play Sunday, his third consecutive start after missing three games with a hamstring injury. The two-time MVP accounted for 238 total yards and four touchdowns in Baltimore’s 41-17 Week 2 blowout win over the Browns. For Cleveland, six players — outside linebacker Jerome Baker (Achilles tendon), wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot), offensive tackle Jack Conklin (rest), tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), linebacker Carson Schwesinger (shoulder) and wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) — were limited. Another five guys — guard Joel Bitonio (rest), defensive end Myles Garrett (rest), offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas (back), tight end David Njoku (rest) and cornerback Denzel Ward (rest) — practiced fully. Only defensive end Alex Wright (quad) sat out practice. He also missed Wednesday’s practice with the same injury. Have a news tip?
