Is Roquan Smith playing today? Injury updates for Ravens All-Pro linebacker

The Ravens are set for a monster matchup against the Eagles this afternoon, and their leading tackler is set to return to the lineup.

Roquan Smith practiced on Friday and should start at middle linebacker after missing the win over the Chargers with a hamstring injury.

Smith’s presence will be needed as the league’s third leading tackler, and the NFL’s two best running backs will take center stage as Saquon Barkley (1,392 yards) and Derrick Henry (1,325) continue their battle for the rushing title.

The Eagles are 7-0 when Barkley rushes for over 100 yards.

Is Kyle Van Noy playing today? Injury updates for Ravens linebacker

Baltimore edge rusher Kyle Van Noy is listed as doubtful for Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles

The Ravens released their final injury report for Week 13 on Friday, and linebacker Kyle Van Noy is doubtful for Baltimore’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles today.

While Charlie Kolar and Arthur Maulet have been ruled out.

Van Noy, tied with Odafe Oweh for the Ravens’ lead with eight sacks, has missed just seven games over the previous seven seasons and none with the Ravens.

If Van Noy doesn’t play, Adisa Isaac or David Ojabo would be active on the 53-man roster.

Smith’s return is necessary for Baltimore’s run defense to take on Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ top-ranked rushing attack.

Philadelphia will decide on DeVonta Smith after pregame warmups, while Darius Slay has been ruled out with a concussion.

Commanders have now cut or traded away all six first-round picks from 2019-2023

Commanders have now cut or traded away all six first-round picks from 2019-2023 after waiving cornerback Emmanuel Forbes

The Emmanuel Forbes era is over in Washington, as the Commanders are waiving the former first-round pick ahead of the Week 13 game against the Tennessee Titans.

The NFL Draft is a crapshoot, and no franchise exemplifies recent failures like the Commanders. The Commanders have now cut or traded every player selected by the previous regime, with all six first-round picks from 2019-2023 no longer on the roster.

Montrez Sweat (2019) was traded, the late Dwayne Haskins (2019) was cut, Chase Young (2020) was traded, Jamin Davis (2021) was cut, Jahan Dotson (2022) was traded to the Eagles this summer, and Forbes (2023) was waived on Saturday.

The beginning of the end came for Forbes, drafted one spot ahead of Patriots star Christian Gonzalez, on October 7 of last season, when Eagles All-Pro A.J. Brown baptized Forbes to the tune of nine catches for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the win, giving Forbes Jr. his welcome to the NFL moment with an intense battle.

Brown was fined almost $11,000 for placing the football next to the then Commanders rookie cornerback after his second touchdown catch.
