Updated Ravens injury report for Week 3 shows clean bill of health for stars

The winless Baltimore Ravens need a win this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys if they want any real chance of making the playoffs this year. The Ravens are coming off an uninspiring loss to the Las Vegas Raiders where they saw a fourth-quarter 10-point lead erased in minutes and another "L" in the loss column.

The Cowboys come into the game lacking confidence as well. The New Orleans Saints took them to task last week in a 44-19 rout that showed the league how to exploit the Cowboys' defense. While the formula to beat Dallas is there, we'll see if the Ravens can take advantage and come away with a win.

Winning is always easier when your best players are playing. Initially, it looked like the Ravens could be missing major pieces. Today's Week 3 updated injury report put to bed most of the concerns as several star players returned.

Updated Ravens injury report for Week 3: Ravens' stars get the green light

Great news for the Ravens and their fans as just yesterday there was a possibility the team could be without linebacker Kyle Van Noy, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, and All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton. All three participated in full during today's practice and barring any setbacks, they should be all set to go for America's Game of the Week on Fox against the Cowboys.

However, the team goes into their Week 3 matchup healthy. See the full updated injury report below.

In more good news for the Ravens, rookies Nate Wiggins and Adisa Isaac participated and are should hopefully take the field on Sunday. It'll be nice to see them healthy and on the field. Wiggins has only played in one game before suffering a head injury last week. Isaac, meanwhile, has been out for most of the offseason and will look to make his first appearance in AT&T Stadium.

As of the moment, David Ojabo's limited practice with a quad injury is the most glaring. It's peculiar, but here's to hoping it's more precautionary than anything serious.

The Ravens look healthy going into Dallas. While that's all well and good, they were healthy going into the Raiders game last week and we all saw how that game turned out. If David Ojabo is available, the defense has a very real shot of making Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott uncomfortable. The linebacker rotation will be full and that's awesome for a Ravens team that relies heavily on them for every facet of the defense.
