Baltimore Ravens player notes for Nov 21st, 2018


*Ronnie Stanley – Noteworthy – Injury
LT Ronnie Stanley was able to practice Wednesday despite leaving the previous game several times with a high-ankle sprain. Stanley was limited in practice the prior week after missing the previous game against the Steelers in Week 9. He should be available against the Raiders.

James Hurst – Noteworthy – Injury
RT James Hurst (back) is still not able to practice after missing four consecutive games. Hurst is a valuable lineman capable of playing multiple positions. It appears he will not be ready to return against the Raiders.

Joe Flacco – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Joe Flacco (hip) missed his fourth straight practice on Wednesday. However, head coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Flacco could play against the Raiders. “It’s just a matter of how fast the healing takes place in there,” Harbaugh said. “It’s not a surgical thing; it’s just a calming-down type of a thing with the hip, and I’m not a doctor. They have that commercial with the TV doctors. I’m not even a TV doctor, so we’ll see.” If Flacco is inactive, Lamar Jackson will get his second career start. Flacco missed his first game of the season Week 11 against the Bengals because of the injured hip.

Joe Flacco – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens, who has not played or practiced since sustaining a hip injury in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, did not practice again on Wednesday.
After a week to heal because of the Ravens’ bye week, Flacco was unable to play against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though coach John Harbaugh said if was healthy he could play even without practicing all week. Harbaugh is singing a different tune this week, saying: “Yes, it will be tough for him this week coming.”

Kenneth Dixon – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Kenneth Dixon (knee) was back at practice as an injured reserve player eligible to return to the team. However, the Ravens already have four running backs on the active roster. As a result, it might be difficult to find space for Dixon, who missed all of last season with a knee injury and suspension.

Tavon Young – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Tavon Young was held out of practice Wednesday. Young was back in the lineup Week 11 against the Bengals after missing the previous game with an ankle injury. Young missed all of last season with a knee injury.
