| | Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old's status for wild-card weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals is up in the air after he suffered a concussion in the Week 18 regular season finale last Sunday against these same Bengals. Edwards will need to pass through the league's concussion protocols and get back on the practice field in the next two days to have a shot at suiting up. Coming off a major knee injury that kept him out all of 2021, Edwards saw 87 carries for 433 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this year. J.K. Dobbins will be Baltimore's primary back either way this Sunday, but if Edwards is ruled out, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger change-of-pace role. |
| | Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that offensive lineman Alex Cappa (ankle) will not play in the wild-card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. Taylor wouldn't say if Cappa will be able to play if the Bengals advance to the Divisional Round. The 27-year-old guard was injured in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Ravens and needed a cart to take him back to the locker room. There's a good chance his season may be over, which would be a notable blow to Cincy's offensive line as they look to get back to the Super Bowl. With Cappa out this weekend, Max Scharping will look to step up in a starting role against a strong Ravens pass rush. |
| | Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed another practice on Thursday, while backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was seen throwing in the portion of practice open to the media. Huntley was listed as limited on Wednesday but didn't throw at all, so this represents progress for him ahead of the wild-card matchup on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson hasn't practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain on Dec. 4, so he's a long shot to play this weekend. Huntley was rested in the Week 18 regular season finale, but the Ravens are hoping he can start under center against Cincy. If Huntley cannot go, rookie Anthony Brown would be forced into another start, which isn't ideal for Baltimore's already struggling offense. |
| | Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and was wearing a non-contact jersey and foam protection on his helmet after suffering a concussion in the Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's progress for Edwards, but his status remains unclear for the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins was rested in the regular season finale, but he will return for wild-card weekend to serve as the lead back. However, with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) unlikely to play and with backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) questionable, fantasy managers should be fading all of the team's offensive skill players for a second straight matchup against their division rivals. If Edwards doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger role behind Dobbins. |
| | Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice and is not expected to play in the wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The 23-year-old took to social media to say that he's still dealing with inflammation in his knee after suffering a Grade 2 sprain of his PCL on Dec. 4. He mentioned that he wishes he could give 100% of himself, but can't right now. That being said, Jackson basically ruled himself out of this contest. Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) was able to throw during practice on Thursday. Possibly, Huntley is able to suit up Sunday versus Cincinnati. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to make the start under center this weekend. |
| | Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Huntley was also limited on Wednesday, but he did resume throwing on Thursday, which is good news for the organization. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice and appears doubtful for this game. It appears Huntley has a chance at playing, but the team will likely wait until later in the week before making a final decision. Otherwise, Anthony Brown would be asked to start if both quarterbacks are unable to play this weekend. |
