Practice Report: Ravens Hamilton, Cowboys Lamb Out
Baltimore, MD - The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys faced off in a crucial Week 10 matchup, and the practice report leading into the game had some interesting developments.
Ravens: Hamilton Returns, but Injury Concerns Linger
The big news for the Ravens was the return of rookie safety Kyle Hamilton, who missed the last two games due to a knee injury. He's been a key piece of the Ravens defense, and his return provides a much-needed boost to their secondary. However, his status for the game remains questionable as he's still nursing the injury.
Other key players for the Ravens to watch include:
- Marcus Peters: The veteran cornerback is dealing with a calf injury that has limited his practice participation.
- Ronnie Stanley: The left tackle is still working his way back from a previous ankle injury and remains a question mark for the game.
- Gus Edwards: The running back is nursing a foot injury and could be limited against the Cowboys.
Cowboys: Lamb Out, but Offense Remains Dangerous
For the Cowboys, the big news was the absence of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Lamb has been the focal point of the Cowboys offense and his absence is a significant blow.
However, the Cowboys still possess a formidable offensive attack, even without Lamb. Dak Prescott remains a threat, and players like Amari Cooper, Dalton Schultz, and Ezekiel Elliott can take over the offensive workload.
Other players to watch for the Cowboys:
- Micah Parsons: The defensive star is expected to play, despite dealing with a groin injury.
- Tyler Smith: The rookie left tackle has been battling an ankle injury, but is expected to start.
