Rashod Bateman took another step in his recovery from foot surgery, joining the Ravens on the field Monday for the first practice of OTAs.

While Bateman will likely be eased back into action this summer, it's a good sign for an integral part of the Ravens' offense in 2023.

If Bateman is on the field throughout the Summer to learn new Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken's system, there's no reason to believe he won't be the team's WR1. Bateman is a good target in best ball leagues, where his big-play potential has been flashed in the past. He is currently ranked as the WR41 at 4for4, but could be moving up if we continue to get positive reports on his health.

The Ravens are giving WR Odell Beckham Jr. a 1-year deal worth up to $18M. A weapon for Baltimore’s QB.

A much needed boost to a WR room that has been lacking for years. There are clearly still questions about Beckham's health, as he is one of the final free agent fantasy pieces to fall into place, but Baltimore is in a position to take a risk here. We'll have to wait and see if this will impact Lamar Jackson's willingness to stick around with the Ravens.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman will undergo season-ending Lisfranc surgery, John Harbaugh said.

Demarcus Robinson was the latest ancillary piece to pop off, going 6-64 on eight targets in Week 8. We know who the real WR1 is in Baltimore, though, and that is Mark Andrews, who is questionable for Week 9 with his own injury issues. Though the trio mentioned above may run into some extra targets, Isaiah Likely may end up seeing a lot more action, regardless of whether or not Andrews is sidelined. The team may also call veteran WR DeSean Jackson off the practice squad to stretch the hamstrings and run some 9 routes, as well.

Head coach Harbaugh said that Gus Edwards has a minor hamstring strain. Will be questionable for MNF but hasn’t been ruled out. Harbaugh said that Rashod Bateman’s foot injury is more extensive than originally thought. He’s expected to miss multiple weeks.

There were reports immediately after Thursday Night Football that Bateman's injury was "not serious," but clearly, that was incorrect. The Ravens already spread the ball around as one of the lightest passing attacks in the league, so it isn't easy to trust a fill-in in your fantasy lineups. Devin Duvernay can be considered a boom/bust desperation Flex play while Bateman is sidelined.

Head coach Harbaugh said that Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman don’t have serious injuries.

Andrews was seeing his typical elite usage —five targets on nine routes— before leaving the game with a shoulder issue in the second quarter. Isaiah Likely then took the reins and delivered a 6-77-1 line while leading the team in routes run (35). As for Rashod Bateman, he didn't last much longer and has now become a frustrating fantasy asset, having failed to eclipse 50 yards receiving since Week 3. We'll need to keep an eye on both Andrews and Bateman on practice reports ahead of Week 9.

Ravens had three key members of their offense not practicing Tuesday:

TE Mark Andrews (knee)
OT Ronnie Stanley (ankle)
WR Rashod Bateman (undisclosed)

Andrews is dealing with a knee injury that saw him miss practice time last week and then saw him get shut down in Week 7, although QB Lamar Jackson said that was at least partly because of Cleveland's defensive plan. It would be nice to see Andrews practice Wednesday, but it's looking like he may not be at full strength even if he plays on a short week against the Bucs. Likely would likely get the start and significant time if Andrews can't play.

Bateman was questionable last week but also played in Week 7, and his reason for not practicing Tuesday was undisclosed.

Ravens rule out WR Rashod Bateman after he didn’t practice all week due to a foot injury.

An already thin wide receiver corps, the Baltimore offense may run even more through Mark Andrews in Week 5.

Rashod Bateman —who was not on Thursday's injury report— did not participate in the Ravens' final practice of the week.

If Bateman's sudden appearance on the DNP injury report keeps him out or limited during Week 3's romp with the Patriots, Lamar Jackson will have exactly one reliable pass-catcher, Mark Andrews. Despite the team's lackluster receiver corps, Jackson ranks second in the league with 9.0 yards per attempt, though Bateman's 27.8 yards/reception is assuredly helping the quarterback's numbers.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson or tight end Mark Andrews certainly could have qualified for this spot, but Rashod Bateman has flashed throughout training camp, showing off the skill set that Baltimore was so intrigued by when they selected him at No. 27 overall in the 2021 NFL draft.

According to the story, Bateman has shown off a strong connection with Jackson, catching almost everything that’s been thrown his way. He’s expected to take a massive jump in Year 2 with the departure of Marquise Brown, and early on at training camp he’s showing why. The Ravens are expected to be run-heavy, but outside of Andrews, Bateman should see his share of targets.

Ravens WR Marquise Brown (thigh) and RB Latavius Murray (ankle) are questionable for Week 11's game against the Chicago Bears.

Brown is expected to play, while Murray is looking to play for the first time since October. Their matchup against Chicago got easier with the news that Khalil Mack is out for the season.
