ExtremeRavens Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago After eight players missed Ravens practice Wednesday, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Kyle Hamilton and linebacker Roquan Smith, only two were absent Thursday. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) and cornerback Keyon Martin (ribs) were sidelined for the second consecutive day, but Jackson (ankle), Hamilton (groin/shoulder), Smith (hamstring), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (illness), tight end Isaiah Likely (calf) and guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) all returned to the practice field Thursday. Hamilton, Smith, Likely and Vorhees were listed as limited participants on the penultimate injury report of the week, while Jackson and Stanley participated in full. Marlon Humphrey, who was a limited participant Wednesday with a finger injury, and Justice Hill, who practiced in full Wednesday with a toe injury, were both listed as full participants Thursday. The cornerback and running back were sidelined for last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns but appear to be trending in the right direction to play the New York Jets on Sunday. Bateman’s ankle sprain came on what looked like a hip-drop tackle, which the NFL in 2024 made illegal, in Baltimore’s win over the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago and hasn’t practiced since. Coach John Harbaugh said then that the wide receiver “is going to be OK” before he also missed the Browns game. Martin, a reserve defensive back but key special teamer, has yet to return to the field since a chest injury kept him overnight in a Cleveland hospital Sunday. Harbaugh said earlier this week “it didn’t turn out to be a serious thing.” Humphrey’s absence Sunday was the veteran cornerback’s second missed game this season and first with a finger injury that required surgery. Jackson and Hamilton are both seemingly dealing with lingering ailments. Jackson was sacked five times against the Browns, and this week was his second consecutive Wednesday he was held out of practice. He went on to participate fully the rest of last week. The quarterback said Thursday he feels “good” and added he’ll “probably” continue taking one or two practices off each week. Hamilton wasn’t on last week’s injury report but appeared to take a hard hit to his right arm in Cleveland and could be seen grabbing it over the following few plays. This isn’t Smith’s first time appearing on the injury report with a hamstring injury. He missed two games earlier this season with the same designation, although it’s unclear whether it’s the same hamstring this time six weeks later. The Ravens’ matchup with the Jets on Sunday is their first of a three-game home stand that also includes bouts with the Cincinnati Bengals and AFC North-leading Steelers, who lead Baltimore by just one game. Neither of the Ravens’ next two opponents have a winning record, while Pittsburgh will face the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills, both 7-3, before coming to Baltimore. For the Jets, just one player didn’t participate in their practice Thursday: reserve running back Kene Nwangwu (hamstring). Defensive end Will McDonald IV, who leads the team with seven sacks this season, was limited with a quadriceps injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday. Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips (foot) was also limited. Have a news tip? Contact Taylor Lyons at tlyons@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/TaylorJLyons. View the full article Quote
