The Baltimore Ravens extended their winning streak to three games with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. From an offensive perspective, the unit lacked its typical explosiveness, but still managed to get in scoring position time and time again to get out in front. Defensively, the unit hounded opposing quarterback J.J. McCarthy, forced turnovers, and helped seal the win to move to 4-5.
Heading into the game, the Ravens were finally healthy. They had a clean week of practice, with the only injury being to cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who dealt with a finger injury in Sunday’s contest. That injury clearly had an effect throughout the day, but outside that, Baltimore is finally getting healthy.
The team did have some injuries against the Vikings, though. They may not be overly concerning, but the outlook is currently unknown for those banged up.
Ravens leave Minnesota with a couple of injuries
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman is one player fans should not be too concerned about. He got hurt on a third-down reception where he was brought down by Minnesota cornerback Isaiah Rodgers on the one-yard line as he reached for the goal line. It looked like a hip drop tackle by Rodgers, but no flag was thrown.

ESPN’s Kimberly A. Martin caught up with Bateman following the win and noted he was wearing a walking boot in the locker room. The 25-year-old told Martin he was dealing with a high ankle sprain after the tackle on his third-down effort.
Asked Rashod Bateman about the boot he was wearing on his right foot. He said it’s a high ankle sprain, but doesn’t expect to miss too much time. Said he got hurt when he was tackled reaching for the end zone. To his surprise, no flag was thrown on the play #ravens

Bateman did continue later in the game. Most notably, he caught the two-point conversion try early in the fourth quarter to put the Ravens up 27-13, so it was clear he was still capable. Still, high ankle sprains usually keep wide receivers out for at least two games.

Right high-ankle sprain
Most WRs miss 2.8 games with these.
He was spotted wearing a boot, which is consistent.
The more severe injury could be the one linebacker Jay Higgins suffered late in the game. It appears Higgins may have suffered a serious leg injury on a tackle on Minnesota kick returner Myles Price in the final quarter of play.
Higgins was seen leaving the locker room with a significant brace on his leg, and while no update on his status was provided, Baltimore’s special teams coverage unit could take a hit.
Didn't see what happened or when it happened, but it looked like Ravens rookie ILB Jay Higgins sustained a notable knee injury today. Higgins left the locker room with a significant brace on his right leg.

Higgins has been a factor on special teams nearly all year, and Head Coach John Harbaugh may need to find a replacement if the injury keeps the 24-year-old out for an extended period of time.
Harbaugh should give necessary updates regarding Bateman's and Higgins' status in the coming days, as the Ravens begin to prepare for the Cleveland Browns in Week 11.
