Latavius Murray, Sammy Watkins Out Again Thursday
3 years agoBaltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Both Murray and Watkins are highly questionable to suit up in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watkins also missed the Week 6 blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers, so he's probably more in danger of missing another game. Murray and Devonta Freeman both saw nine carries last weekend, with Le'Veon Bell seeing eight carries. All three backs found the end zone on the ground, which is obviously something that won't happen every week. If Murray were to miss the game against the Bengals, Freeman and Bell figure to split the backfield touches, with Ty'Son Williams being active as the third back. Rookie receiver Rashod Bateman made his season debut last week and could see a bigger role behind Marquise Brown if Watkins misses a second straight game.
