 Or Baltimore Ravens got some bad, but not surprising news. And that was when Rashad Bateman and Odell Beckham, Jr. were officially ruled out today. I know for Rashad Bateman, nobody was thinking that he was gonna play, but I know for a lot of people, Odell Beckham, Jr., a lot of people thought that he was going to possibly play in this game. And what's been weird about Odell Beckham, Jr. Hardball described his injury status as minor, but then even Ian Rappaport, the day where he got injured in that Bengals game, Ian Rappaport reported that same exact date. He said with Odell Beckham, Jr., he was just dealing with an ankle injury, but it's not serious and it's not something that's expected to keep him out of any games and everything should just continue as normal. That was pretty much paraphrasing what Ian Rappaport said. The same day Odell Beckham, Jr. came out of that Bengals game. And we haven't seen Odell Beckham, Jr. since. So it's weird, man. Again, Ravens with these injuries has just been very unfortunate, but us Ravens fans, we're used to it, but we shouldn't be used to this. Nobody should be used to this. No NFL team should be used to this in my opinion, but it is who the Ravens are. They are a very injury played team year in, year out, weekend, week out, season in, season out. They always face a lot of injuries. So it just, it makes a lot of stuff harder than it should be, but it is what it is. So they just got to deal with it. With Rashad Bateman, it's tough, man. It's been a lot of discourse about Rashad Bateman, especially over the past couple of months and whatnot, even before the season started. And it's not off to the best start for him. But one thing that we can say is not about how you start, it's how you finish. So Rashad Bateman, hey, we said you wide receiver one. Lamar said you wide receiver one too. His word holds a little more weight than others when it comes to who wide receiver one is. So he's still got plenty of opportunity to prove it once he gets back on the field. So we're looking forward to seeing him. Now, with Gus Edwards, full participant, great, amazing. So he's good to go for Sunday. Kyle Hamilton, he had missed practice earlier this week, but then he came back. So he's good to go for Sunday. Justice Hill, he started off slow this week. Wasn't even really practicing, was off to the side. But then he was limited yesterday, but then today he was a full participant. So Justice Hill should be back. So I'll run it back up. Getting a lot better, like right away. Marlon Humphrey out, no surprises there. Tyler Linderbaum is questionable because he's been limited all week in practice. So he's questionable, so we'll see. But with Ronnie Stanley, Ronnie Stanley was another one where we got bad news because he was limited the previous two days. And then today he did not practice. So he is listed as doubtful. So they are not expecting him to play. There's a small 25% chance that he will play. But like I've been saying all week, as soon as they showed Ronnie Stanley back and he had on them camo fatigue shorts, I said, nope, ain't happening. Cause whenever he wears, he wears those when he first comes back from injury every time. And he does not play right away. So with Ronnie Stanley, it was never my expectation that he played in this game. Nice that he was back at practice, but him playing in this game, I just thought that was far fetched. But we'll see. Cause again, he's not ruled out, but he ain't ruled in either. So we'll see about that. Marcus Williams. Marcus Williams, which is nice. He, again, we talked about this earlier today, Wednesday limited, but then Thursday and Friday he practiced in full. So that's a good thing. And we know practice on Fridays is, it's pretty much sort of a walkthrough almost not real physical, like the regular practices and whatnot. But the fact that he's a full participant, as like we mentioned earlier, it's looking like he is going to be good to go. And Ravens need all the reinforcements that they could use against these Cleveland Browns. But these Cleveland Browns, they could possibly maybe need some reinforcements too. DeSean Watson in the game last week against those Tennessee Titans, where the Browns, what was the score? Like 27-3 or some ugly, 27-3, 29-3, some ugly to three. It was a nasty game. Well, at least for the Titans, Browns, they all smiles. But DeSean Watson on a play in the red zone, where he took off, DeSean Watson was running, running, running. And then he thought he was there, Kenry, cause he tried to drop his shoulder, went head up with one of the Titans players, and boom, they collided. And DeSean Watson ain't been the same since. And they have said that DeSean Watson has been limited the past couple of days in practice with a shoulder injury. So that is significant. He is expected to play, he gonna play. DeSean Watson's gonna play, but that is something to keep an eye on. Because if he takes the wrong hit, DeSean Watson could possibly be out the game. Now the Browns, they have certainly expressed their confidence in him. They're back up, BTR, who was doing this thing in the pre-season and we know it's the pre-season. Gotta keep that in mind. But still, that's why they gave Josh Dobbs away to the Cardinals. They were like, you know what, we're gonna roll with him. So just in case anything happened to DeSean Watson, we were rolling with the young gun. So we'll see what happens if he ends up having to get in the game, cause DeSean Watson came finished. Well, if DeSean Watson just goes out there and battles with his shoulder injury, a lot of that is still to be determined. Now with the wide receivers, remember, Ty Linn-Wallis is on injured serve. And of course, Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashad Bateman, they are both out. So Raven Starters, they flowers. As if enough wasn't on, they flower shoulders already from all the passes that be going his way, all the reverses and the handoffs, all that stuff that be going his way. As if enough wasn't on his shoulders already. Now, he's gonna be a focal point. Him and Nelson Aguilar in Devon Duvenay. Those are gonna be our guys. Him and Nelson Aguilar in Devon Duvenay. And what's crazy about this is that this season, going into this season, a lot of our biggest questions was injuries, injuries. And I continued to say it like that is the Raven's biggest enemy, use injuries. And that would be the only thing that I think could hold this team back. But specifically with the YRC department, Rashad Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr. They both face injuries throughout their entire NFL careers. Of course, Rashad Bateman's career is a lot shorter than Odell Beckham Jr. has been, but they both faced a lot of injuries. And it was not hopeful, but a lot of us with them being hurt is something that we're not surprised by. We still hate it for them. We hate that they are hurt, but this has been a story in both of their careers. It's hoping that this would be the year that they both stayed healthy. But unfortunately, it just hasn't been the case. But the Ravens, they did prepare for this with bringing in Nelson Aguilar and Devon Duvenay, retaining him and having Drafton's eight flowers as well. So now it's time for the Ravens to step up with the guys who are absent right now until they come back. Mark Andrews, I'm sure a lot more attention will be going his way from Lamar Jackson since those other guys are out. I mean, Mark Andrews gonna be fighting with Zay flowers for attention, because you know Lamar, boy, he locked on Zay, but that's his guy, man. I mean, when you see Zay with the ball in his hands, you can see why. But Mark Andrews, I would expect him, especially against Cleveland, like this is Mark Andrews type of game right here against the Cleveland Browns. This is what he just does. So I would expect him to just be better this week, be more involved this week for the Baltimore Ravens offense, but this is going to be a really, really tough game. And, but the Baltimore Ravens, they have a lot, a lot riding on this game. Now it is still early in the season, but still this is a very important game. It's a AFC North game. It's a division game. It is an away game. So you're gonna have to play these guys again and you're gonna have to play the Steelers again too, but both of these games, the next two weeks are away. When you play these dudes again, it's gonna be at the crib. So what better way to sneak? And right now, yeah, I would call it, if the Ravens win on Sunday, I would call it a sneak win. I really would because while the game could obviously go either way. I feel like neither team should be favored too much. And I think it's gonna be an extremely close game, very ugly game. But hey, Ravens, if you wanna surprise me and make it pretty and just take off, no problem. I ain't gonna complain. But I feel like this could be a very, very ugly one. But if Ravens could sneak away with a win this Sunday against the Browns, hey, and even a win next Sunday against the Steelers, Ravens, hey, be my guest.
