Ravens Injury Report: Stanley, Hamilton Out, But Hope Remains for Week 4
The Baltimore Ravens face a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills this week, but they'll do so without two key players.
Running Back Justice Hill suffered a hamstring injury during the Ravens' Week 3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The injury forced Hill to leave the game and he did not return. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed on Wednesday that Hill would be out for this week's game.
Wide Receiver James Proche II is also out this week due to an undisclosed injury. Proche has been a key contributor in the Ravens' offense, particularly in the slot. The Ravens are hoping Proche will be back soon, but it's unclear when he will return.
Safety Geno Stone has been dealing with a groin injury, but Harbaugh indicated he is day-to-day and could potentially play against Buffalo. However, his status remains uncertain.
The Ravens' offense is already dealing with the absence of star quarterback Lamar Jackson who is recovering from a knee injury. Jackson is expected to miss a few more weeks, but the Ravens remain hopeful that he will return before the season's end.
Despite the injury concerns, there's a glimmer of hope for the Ravens.
Running Back Gus Edwards has been a force in the backfield this season, filling the void left by Jackson's absence. Edwards is expected to carry a heavy workload against the Bills.
Wide Receiver Rashod Bateman has emerged as a reliable target for Tyler Huntley, who will start at quarterback in Jackson's absence.
With the injuries piling up, the Ravens will need their remaining players to step up and perform at a high level to stay in the playoff race.
Key Takeaways:
- Justice Hill and James Proche II will miss Week 4.
- Geno Stone's status is day-to-day.
- The Ravens' offense will rely on Gus Edwards and Rashod Bateman to carry the load.
- Lamar Jackson's return date remains unclear.
Despite the injury concerns, the Ravens remain optimistic about their chances of success in Week 4. They'll need to overcome these challenges to continue their winning streak.
