Baltimore – The Baltimore Ravens welcomed some positive news on Thursday as cornerback Marlon Humphrey and fullback Patrick Ricard returned to practice ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In addition, safety Kyle Hamilton was upgraded to full participation and is likely to play after missing last week’s game against the Texans.
However, the Ravens are facing ongoing concerns with their offensive tackle depth as left tackle Ronnie Stanley, right tackle Roger Rosengarten, and swing tackle Joe Noteboom were all limited in Wednesday’s practice. Fortunately, all three were upgraded to full participation on Thursday, crucial due to the Rams’ formidable pass rush.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice again this week as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury sustained during the game against the Chiefs. His status for the Week 6 game is “very much in doubt,” and it appears to be an uphill battle for him to play, particularly with a bye week looming in Week 7. In Jackson’s absence, Cooper Rush may start against the Rams. Rush previously completed 14 of 20 passes for 179 yards and three interceptions in the team’s loss to the Texans.
The Ravens currently hold a record of 1-4, marking their worst start since 2015, despite being favored to win the AFC North this season. The defense has struggled significantly in recent weeks, having been outscored 81-30 over the last two games. There is a risk of allowing four passing touchdowns without any interceptions for the third consecutive game when they face the Rams.
Several key players also missed practice this week, including cornerback Chidobe Awuzie due to a hamstring issue, offensive lineman Rob Havenstein with an ankle problem, tight end Tyler Higbee (hip), and outside linebacker Omar Speights (ankle). Additionally, limited participants included wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), tackle Joseph Noteboom (ankle), tackle Roger Rosengarten (knee), and tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle).
The Ravens are looking to turn their season around against a strong Rams team. While the return of key defensive players like Humphrey and Hamilton is encouraging, the absence of Jackson remains a significant concern for the team’s offensive capabilities as they aim to improve their record and performance this week.
