Ravens’ 53-man roster vs. Bengals: News and notes for Week 11

We’re looking at the Baltimore Ravens 53-man roster for their Thursday night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Amazon Prime

The Ravens suffered a humbling 33-31 loss to the Browns in Week 10, but a short rest prevented any time for self-pity, as John Harbaugh’s squad immediately returned to work.

Baltimore is 7-3 and atop the AFC North, and have a chance to create more space in the division when they face Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) on Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football.

The Ravens will be without Ronnie Stanley, and Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey is listed as doubtful with a calf injury.

With kickoff now 10 hours away, we’re looking at an updated 53-man roster with news and notes for Week 11.

Houston-Carson signed with the Ravens on Aug. 14 in the middle of training camp but didn’t make the 53-man roster or initial practice squad.

He’s a versatile defensive back in his eighth NFL season and started a career-high six games last year with the Bears.
