*Willie Henry – Noteworthy
DT Willie Henry played for the first time this season following hernia surgery. Henry played 39 snaps and finished with two tackles, including one for a loss. “He played great,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I thought he played very well. I was really pleasantly surprised by how well he played. He had a good game, and we didn’t expect him to play that many snaps. It kind of just turned out that way. It looks like he’s back, and he didn’t miss stride.”
Alex Collins – Noteworthy
RB Alex Collins played just 27 snaps against the Browns, 23 less than his backup Javorius Allen. Collins did leave the game with a minor injury but said he fully able to carry the load. Collins led the team with 59 yards on 12 carries. Allen had 34 yards on eight carries. “That’s the way the game went,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “A fresh running back is a good thing. I think running backs taking 40, 50 snaps is not necessarily a good thing. You talked about the balance. [If] you put the ball in one guy’s hand for 35 plays, I don’t know if that’s balance. We need to spread the load, and you want fresh guys out there playing hard.”
Cyrus Jones – Important – Transaction
CB Cyrus Jones was claimed on waivers from the Patriots Monday (Oct. 8). by the Ravens after being waived Saturday.
Joe Flacco – Noteworthy
QB Joe Flacco has endured 16 dropped passes, most in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. WR Michael Crabtree has endured eight of those drops, including two against the Browns. Flacco is on pace to throw the ball a career-high 726 times, well ahead of his 672 attempts in 2016.
Michael Pierce – Noteworthy – Injury
DT Michael Pierce has been dealing with a foot injury and did not play against the Browns. He could come back this week, according to coach John Harbaugh. “That’s a firm maybe. I’m hopeful,” he said.
Terrell Suggs – Noteworthy
LB Terrell Suggs played 66 snaps against Cleveland, the most he has played all season. The 35-year-old linebacker leads the team with 3.5 sacks over five games. “Yes, yes, that was more snaps than you want him to play, certainly, and it’s a little bit with Timmy Williams being hurt, and a little bit just how many snaps we had in the game,” coach John Harbaugh said. “But yes, we’d like not to have him out there for 65 snaps. We’d like not to be out there for 65 snaps on defense, total.”
Tim Williams – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Tim Williams (hamstring) did not play Sunday against the Browns after missing practice the prior week. Williams has seven tackles and has progressed well since his rookie season when he struggled to get on the field.
