The Baltimore Ravens released their Friday injury report and game statuses for Sunday’s matchup against the Vikings.
The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of question marks heading into Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury reports are full for both teams, with a combined 30 players making the list this week.
Injuries have been a concern for the Ravens all this season and that’s not going to change Sunday. Here’s a look at the game statuses for 16 players on the injury report.
QUESTIONABLE: Carl Davis (Thigh), Jaylen Hill (Thigh), Anthony Levine Sr. (Thigh), Jeremy Maclin (Shoulder), Jimmy Smith (Achilles), Ronnie Stanley (Mouth), Mike Wallace (Back), Ben Watson (Knee), Lardarius Webb (Knee), Brandon Williams (Foot)
DOUBTFUL: Chris Matthews (Thigh)
OUT: Breshad Perriman (Concussion), Matt Skura (Knee), Terrance West (Calf), Tim Williams (Thigh), Maxx Williams (Ankle)
Perriman, Skura, West, and both Maxx/Tim Williams are officially ruled out for Sunday. This isn’t much of a surprise and Perriman could be out for more than just this week with possibility of injured reserve. We’ve seen players miss entire seasons with concussions and Perriman took a nasty hit last Sunday. Don’t be surprised to see Chris Matthews also miss Sunday’s game, which would leave five healthy wide receivers assuming Wallace and Maclin play.
But don’t worry, we also have good news on the injury front. Carl Davis and Brandon Williams are expected to start Sunday. That’s huge news on the interior of the defensive line. The front-seven has been without the two and are on pace to give up a franchise record in rushing yards. The Vikings are without Dalvin Cook, but Jerrick McKinnon and Latavius Murray have been deadly on the duo on the ground.
