The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9 of the 2021 season. The Ravens have dealt with a plethora of injuries since before the year began, but they’ve shown the ability to play tough football and hold a 5-2 overall record despite the injury woes.
On Wednesday, Baltimore released their first injury report ahead of their matchup with the Vikings, with some key players being listed on the list.

All the players listed to begin the week did not participate in practice.
Running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) both missed the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Patrick Mekari (ankle) and defensive tackle Brandon Williams (shoulder) also were held out of practice.
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reported that defensive tackle Derek Wolfe also didn’t practice, but since he hasn’t been activated from injured reserve he isn’t listed on the official injury report.
Ravens didn't have as many guys practicing as I expected coming back from a bye. Guys I didn't see practicing: QB Tyler Huntley, RB Latavius Murray (ankle), WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring), RT Patrick Mekari (ankle), OLB Justin Houston, DL Derek Wolfe (back), NT Brandon Williams
