ExtremeRavens Posted Friday at 08:55 PM Posted Friday at 08:55 PM The Ravens could be without one of their top pass rushers for Sunday’s crucial AFC North showdown against the Browns in Cleveland. Outside linebacker Mike Green was listed as questionable Friday with an ankle injury. He suffered the injury during Thursday’s practice and was seen walking gingerly through the locker room each of the past two days, though he appeared to be moving better on Friday. If Green, who has 1 1/2 sacks over the past three games and has come on strong in recent weeks as both a pass rusher and edge defender against the run, can’t play, that would leave Baltimore a little thin at the position. The only other outside linebackers on the roster are veteran Kyle Van Noy and fourth-year player David Ojabo. The Ravens (4-5) also have recently acquired defensive end Dre’Mont Jones, who has the size to play on the interior of the defensive line but has also played on the edge. They also could look to elevate veteran outside linebacker Carl Lawson from the practice squad Saturday in what would be his first action for Baltimore since signing last month. Four players the Ravens definitely won’t have are running back Justice Hill (toe), wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger) and linebacker Jay Higgins IV (knee), all of whom were officially ruled out Friday. Higgins could also be headed to injured reserve this week. With Bateman out, second-year receiver Devontez Walker should see an increased role, coach John Harbaugh said Friday. Humphrey’s absence likewise means an increase in snaps for cornerback Chidobe Awuzie. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who missed Wednesday’s practice because of knee soreness, does not have an injury designation and will start Sunday as expected. Cleveland (2-7) will be without defensive end Alex Wight (quad). Defensive tackle Maliek Collins (oblique) is listed as questionable. Cornerback Denzel Ward missed Friday’s practice because of an illness, but is expected to play. The Ravens, who are a game back of the division leading Pittsburgh Steelers, are looking for their fourth straight win and their first season sweep of the Browns since 2020. They won the first matchup in Week 2 in Baltimore, 41-17. Have a news tip? Contact Brian Wacker at bwacker@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/brianwacker1. View the full article Quote
