The Baltimore Ravens are about to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Here is the week 2 injury report:
Baltimore Ravens listed as questionable:
- Janarion Grant
Grant is on this list with a hand injury, which is not something you want a punt returner to be dealing with. It is something to keep an eye on/
Baltimore Ravens listed as out:
- Hayden Hurst
- Maurice Canady
- Willie Henry
- Kenneth Dixon
According to reports the Ravens have put Kenneth Dixon on injured reserve with a knee injury. They have promoted De’Lance Turner from the practice squad. While the news is certainly frustrating it is par for the course. Every time the Ravens fanbase gets excited about Dixon something happens. Turner gets a huge chance here. He was very impressive in the preseason and his speed should add something to the Ravens running back rotation.
The Ravens being without Maurice Canady is probably the most concerning news here. The Bengals have a lot of talent in the passing game and they are already without Jimmy Smith. The Ravens secondary had no shortage of impressive performers against the Bills. Still, this makes the pass rush of the Ravens’ defense that much more important.
The Ravens will have to wait yet another week to see Hayden Hurst and Willie Henry. The Ravens did fine without Hurst against the Bills, as all three tight ends had three receptions. With Willie Henry, the Ravens are missing part of their defensive line rotation. That being said the Ravens front seven is fully loaded and set to go.
Game day is here and the Ravens are relatively healthy. Injuries are unavoidable so to have a reasonably short list in week 2, is good.
