Marquise Brown Misses Practice With Illness

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) missed practice on Thursday with an illness. Wideout Devin Duvernay (ankle) was limited after missing Wednesday's practice.

Tyre Phillips Goes On Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive tackle/guard Tyre Phillips (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will likely end his season. Last year's third-round pick has started 13 games for the Ravens, but staying healthy has been a problem for him, as he played in only eight games in his rookie season and five games this […]

Justin Houston Activated From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated linebackers Justin Houston and Chris Board and safety Geno Stone from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

Lamar Jackson Trending Towards Returning On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he is "hopeful" quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) will return on Sunday.
