The Ravens’ perfect practice attendances of last week are over, as Lamar Jackson and four others did not practice Wednesday as the Ravens prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns Sunday.
After practice, Head Coach John Harbaugh said Jackson has some knee soreness coming out of the Ravens’ 27-19 win in Minnesota.
“He should be OK. I’m looking forward to practice tomorrow,” Harbaugh said.
Two other Ravens starters, wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger), also did not practice. Harbaugh confirmed that Humphrey had a pin inserted into his finger and will not play in Cleveland.
“He’ll be recovering and hopefully [in] the next week, he’ll be back,” Harbaugh said of Humphrey.
On Monday, Harbaugh said the Ravens were waiting to see how serious Bateman’s injury was after a hip-drop tackle led to a sprained ankle. According to a report from The Baltimore Sun, Bateman is not expected to play against the Browns. If that’s the case, it could mean a return to action for Devontez Walker, who scored two touchdowns against the Browns at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 2.
Running back Justice Hill (toe) and rookie linebacker Jay Higgins IV (knee) also did not practice Wednesday. Harbaugh indicated that Hill’s injury isn’t major. Higgins, who has played 61% of the Ravens’ special teams snaps, is going to be sidelined for a few weeks.
Running back Keaton Mitchell (knee), safety Malaki Starks (knee), and tight end Isaiah Likely (hip) were all limited Wednesday.
