Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that rookie WR Rashod Bateman has a soft tissue injury and will be out weeks. Harbaugh is still hopeful for Bateman to play Week 1.

Big yikes. Bateman was looking like a Swiss Army knife-type player for the Ravens but now is tough to roster ahead of the regular season. The only healthy receiver of note for the Ravens is Sammy Watkins. Fingers crossed Bateman only deals with this injury now and it does not linger into the regular season.

Ravens first round WR Rashod Bateman suffered a soft tissue injury at practice today, source said.

He’ll have tests and the severity isn’t known, Rapoport went on to say, but it’s not structural. Bateman is a fantastic prospect, though his 2021 outlook is muddled thanks to the Ravens’ run-oriented attack, the presence of Marquise Brown (and Sammy Watkins) and Mark Andrews as the team’s most dependable receiver.
