The Ravens backfield experiencing another injury. Amazing. Watkins is now on an extended absence, something that has plagued his career.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh told reporters Friday that WR Rashod Bateman (groin) will play Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It will be his season debut.

The Ravens will be without Sammy Watkins so Bateman's debut could not have come at a better time. Temper expectations as Bateman works his way into the receiving rotation.

Baltimore receiver Sammy Watkins left Monday night's game against Indianapolis late in the second quarter with a hamstring injury and was questionable to return.

Watkins had two catches for 35 yards before exiting. He and his owners missed out on a frantic comeback victory by the Ravens as well. Boykin was moved to the active roster before the game while Bateman remains out. Duvernay caught four balls for 45 yards and Proche had two catches for 15 yards. If Watkins misses time the Ravens will have to sort some things out at WR behind Marquise Brown.

The Ravens are expected to activate WR Miles Boykin before tonight’s game against the Colts, source said. He’s been on IR, but officially back now. Not yet for first-round rookie Rashod Bateman who has also been practicing.

The Ravens will get some depth back at WR behind Brown and Watkins for their Monday night game against the Colts. Boykin likely takes away some snaps from Duvernay but it could be short-lived as eventually Bateman is expected to be among the team's top-three WRs. However the Ravens are a run-first team and also utilize TE Mark Andrews.

The Ravens have activated WRs Rashod Bateman and Miles Boykin from IR. The two have a 21-day window to be added to the 53-man roster.

Bateman is the player to get more excited about but the Ravens passing attack being at/near 100% is great news.

Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Miles Boykin will return to practice this week, coach John Harbaugh said Monday, taking them one step closer to their potential 2021 debuts.

Bateman, the team’s top draft pick, suffered a groin injury Aug. 10 in training camp that required surgery. Boykin, who started 13 games last season, hurt his hamstring Aug. 2, sidelining him for nearly all of training camp and the Ravens’ preseason schedule. Both were placed on injured reserve to start the season. Once a player placed on IR returns to practice, his team has 21 days to place him on its active roster. If the player is not activated, he reverts to season-ending IR the story said.

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, the Baltimore Ravens have placed promising rookie receiver Rashod Bateman on short-term I.R.

The Baltimore Ravens new-look receiving corps took another hit, with Rashod Bateman joining Miles Boykin on short-term injured reserve. Both players will be eligible to return as early as Week 4. There were some hopes that Bateman would earn the role of Lamar Jackson's top wide receiver target this season, but the I.R. stint may all but torpedo those plans. Bateman is still a talented receiver who is expected to have a big role down the stretch, but the missed time for the rookie will severely hamper his projected development curve. Unless your league has multiple I.R. spots, Bateman is someone to add to your watch list rather than stash at the end of your draft.

Ravens WR Miles Boykin is headed to short-term IR due to a hamstring injury according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fowler also mentioned fellow WR Rashod Bateman could land in the same situation because of his groin injury.

The injuries to Bateman and Boykin take from the Ravens' wide receiver depth on a team already thin with proven talent at the position. Marquise Brown, Devin Duvernay, and James Proche are among the healthy wideouts for Baltimore with 11 days to go before their Week 1 game.

Ravens WR Sammy Watkins left the practice field early with a trainer.

There wasn't any more specific news on Watkins, but perhaps most important thing to note is the Ravens were without their top-three WRs for the last hour of practice, and perhaps longer if the injuries linger. Brown (hamstring) and Bateman (groin) are also sidelined.

According to Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter, Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman will require surgery for his injured groin and will be sidelined 'until some point in September'.

This is a tough blow for the promising rookie wide receiver. 38th in our wide receiver rankings before the news, Bateman will see both his ranking and ADP take a tumble. There is no definitive timeline for his return available. Zrebiec speculated that the Ravens might choose to place him on designated to return I.R., which would keep him sidelined until at least Week 4. Bateman was expected to compete for a significant role in a Ravens passing attack that was expected to open up the playbook. Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins are now locked in the top two receiver roles when healthy, but this also means that Tylan Wallace, Devin Duvernay, and perhaps James Proche have an opportunity to open the season as the third wide receiver.
