The Baltimore Ravens are arguably the most injury-riddled team in the NFL this season. They’ve seen experienced player-after-player go down, with some even being lost for the season. Despite the plethora of injuries, the Ravens have had talent step-up and now they hold a 5-2 overall record as they enter Week 9.
On Thursday, the Ravens released their second injury report of the week ahead of this Sunday’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Many players on the report did not participate in team activities, but one key player on offense returned to practice.
