Ravens' inactives list for Week 11 confirms Mike Green's status vs. Browns

The Baltimore Ravens will be without several key contributors in their Week 11 game vs. the Cleveland Browns.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger), running back Justice Hill (toe), and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) were all confirmed to be out ahead of Sunday. Throw in quarterback Cooper Rush, who is the team’s emergency third quarterback, and Baltimore would have three new names to add to the inactive list on gameday.

The biggest question surrounded rookie edge rusher Mike Green, who was limited in Thursday’s practice and out on Friday with an ankle injury. However, the Ravens’ inactive list confirms that Green will suit up in Cleveland.

Mike Green set to play vs. Browns

With Green ready to play, Baltimore will look to get after Cleveland’s rookie quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, with their revitalized pass rush unit. They found success last week in Minnesota (18 pressures), and with a worse offensive tackle duo on the opposite side of the football, outside linebackers Dre’Mont Jones, Kyle Van Noy, and Green should feast in passing situations.

For Green in particular, he has been on a roll. He has 1.5 sacks over his last three games. It is fair to question how healthy the 22-year-old will be, as his ankle is clearly not 100 percent. However, the ankle is good enough for him to play in Week 11. We will see how many snaps he gets.

The other inactives include veteran offensive lineman Joe Noteboom, rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr., and rookie defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles. Each of those three was inactive last week against the Minnesota Vikings.

In their places, rookie offensive tackle Carson Vinson continues to be given the nod on gamedays. Interior offensive linemen Ben Cleveland and Corey Bullock are once again the backups instead of Jones Jr., who likely is still getting up to speed after missing significant time early in the first half due to a labrum injury. Veteran defensive lineman Taven Bryan takes Peebles’ spot and is now a key part of Baltimore’s rotation after being signed to the team’s 53-man roster earlier in the week. Rookie linebacker Jay Higgins was placed on injured reserve as the corresponding move.
