The Baltimore Ravens face a pivotal matchup against the Tennesee Titans today. Here’s a look at the team’s inactive players.
Ready for some football? The Baltimore Ravens face the Tennesee Titans in just under an hour. At 4-4, they need a win to stay in the push for a Wild Card spot at the end of the season. After a 40-0 thrashing of the Miami Dolphins last week, the Ravens had a mini bye-week and need to carry the momentum over to today.
Injuries have been a problem all season and that was the same coming into today. Twelve different players were listed as questionable and the Ravens have officially released their inactive list.

As expected, starting quarterback Joe Flacco will play just over a week after suffering a concussion from a controversial hit from Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso. Flacco gives the Ravens their best chance to win and he has to be there the rest of the season.
Michael Campanaro (shoulder) will not play today. That leaves the Ravens with just four healthy receivers in Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin, Breshad Perriman and Chris Moore. This certainly won’t help the league’s worst passing attack and there shouldn’t be high hopes today. Expect the offense to rely heavily on Alex Collins and the run game. That’s the key to victory on that side of the ball.
The biggest news comes at the tight end position. Nick Boyle is out with a toe injury that he’s been dealing with all week. Boyle hasn’t been a primary receiver but the best blocking tight end the Ravens have. His loss is not good for the run game today. But with Boyle out, Maxx Williams returns from missing time with an ankle injury. Williams has had an injury-riddled start to his career and he’s looking to turn that around.
Cornerback Maurice Canady will make his 2017 debut after coming off Injured Reserve with a knee injury. How involved he’ll with the secondary is up in the air.
