Looks like a lot of Ravens won't be playing, possibly including Flacco

"We're going to play the young guys," Harbaugh said. "It's going to be the guys that need to play in this game and we want to find about. Anybody that has health issue or anything like that is not going to even be thinking about playing."

That means 13 players for the Ravens, including Flacco, might not suit up Thursday: tight ends Dennis Pitta (finger), Crockett Gillmore (hamstring) and Maxx Williams (undisclosed); wide receivers Michael Campanaro (undisclosed), Chris Matthews (undisclosed) and Chris Moore (lower left leg); defensive end Bronson Kaufusi (broken ankle); and five players on the physically unable to perform list (Terrell Suggs, Steve Smith, Elvis Dumervil, Breshad Perriman and Lorenzo Taliaferro).

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley, the No. 6 overall pick, is considered a game-time decision after missing one day with a soft-tissue injury. "He wants to play," Harbaugh said.

 

 

Ravens are getting particularly thin at TE & WR

That could mean they might be looking closely at some of the guys we might end up cutting or waiving to try and stash on the PS..., especially at TE?

RUNNING BACKS

Can Brandon Wegher Repeat?

Wegher was a fun story last summer when he totaled three preseason touchdowns. While he earned a roster spot, the Panthers never had plans to incorporate him into the offense. But they remain high on Wegher’s potential, and if he shines like he did last preseason, Cameron Artis-Payne’s job may be in jeopardy.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
