Baltimore

Ravens

Ioane should have no issue playing against the Chargers on Monday night, nor should S Kyle Hamilton (hip), who has practiced in full in each of the last two days. Having Ioane on the field will be a big help for Jacoby Brissett in his first start for Baltimore.

Bateman is firmly on track to play in the Ravens’ Monday Night Football game against the Chargers. Bateman will provide new QB Jacoby Brissett with a downfield option, but the veteran wide receiver is almost entirely reliant in ripping off one or two big plays, which has proven to be a difficult proposition for him on a weekly basis.

On the short end of this timeline, Jackson could return in Week 16 against the Browns. On the long end, Jackson would be looking at returning around the Wild Card or Divisional Round of the playoffs if the Ravens make the postseason. This timeline closely aligns with the 6-9 week absence NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week. If this isn’t a season-ender for Lamar, it will be close, and how the Ravens perform over the next several weeks with Jacoby Brissett under center will likely determine whether the Ravens dress him for the final few weeks of the season, even if he is ready to go. Minter said that Jackson is “doing well” after suffering his injury in Week 8 against the Bills, which is encouraging, but we’re a long way from knowing if a return for Jackson is truly in the cards. The 4-5 Ravens have lost their last four games but hope to turn things around on Monday night when they play host to the Chargers.

The Ravens face the Chargers in Week 10’s Monday Night Football game, theoretically giving Bateman decent odds of suiting up. He does not need to be in starting lineups as a touchdown-dependent FLEX, though.

The Ravens’ stud rookie guard is on track to play this week, albeit with a new shoulder issue. Running backs Rasheen Ali (ankle) and Adam Randall (neck/hamstring) are practicing in full. They should play as well.

The team added Riley Patterson to their active roster yesterday, but both kickers will likely have a chance to earn the job in practice this week. We aren’t expecting great fantasy numbers from either kicker with Lamar Jackson no longer fueling the offense.

The Ravens currently have Tyler Loop on injured reserve and lost Jake Moody to the Falcons this week. This prompted a couple of kicker workouts this week and led to the team signing Patterson to be the kicker, at least until Loop returns. Patterson made 27-of-29 field goals for the Dolphins last season and 7-of-9 field goals this season. Miami released him in October and he finds a new home in Baltimore a few weeks later. Patterson will kick for the Ravens on Monday Night Football against the Chargers, but doesn’t have much fantasy value with a Ravens offense missing Lamar Jackson.

Riley Patterson also worked out for Baltimore. Tyler Loop is on injured reserve and Jake Moody got nabbed off their practice squad, leaving Baltimore without a kicker. One of Mevis or Patterson should get signed in the next few days.

Vorhees, in the final year of his rookie contract, appears to just be in this trade as salary ballast. He struggled in a large sample in 2025 and even with injuries to the interior line in 2026 has only received 81 snaps. The Falcons may opt to turn to Corey Levin as their starter at center rather than Vorhees.

Neuzil, 29, was in the final year of a two-year extension signed in the 2025 offseason. He’s played reasonably well, with a 77.4 PFF blocking grade in 2025 and a 65.1 blocking grade in 2026. The Ravens, somehow always in need of a center, find a nice piece here at the deadline.
