Team news: Baltimore Ravens | Page 1

The Panthers ruled out WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), while QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) is doubtful.

So it'll be Bryce Young throwing to backup receivers on Sunday in Denver.

Related Players: Xavier Legette, Jonathan Mingo, David Moore, Jalen Coker

It's probably not a good idea to start any Panthers players this week, and that likely includes Chuba Hubbard.

Bad news: Zay Flowers (ankle) and Marlon Humphrey (knee) still missing from Ravens practice on Thursday.

Good news: CB Nate Wiggins (shoulder) and DT Travis Jones (ankle) are back.

Related Players: Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Mark Andrews

Things aren't trending in the right direction for Flowers' Week 8 availability, so we'll see if he can hit the field on Friday. Bateman can be considered a boom/bust WR3 this week, while Andrews is fully back in the top-7 conversation.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ribs) is not practicing again.

Johnson sure has been dealing with a lot of ailments this season. He's borderline unstartable with Bryce Young back at the helm regardless, and even more so if he's limited in any capacity.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is participating in his first practice since suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 15 of last year. Mitchell, who is on PUP, has started his 21-day window to return.

Related Players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Still a long way from fantasy relevance, but his return could severely impact Justice Hill's status as a deep Flex option. We'll keep an eye on the situation but Mitchell can remain on waiver wires for now.

Adam Thielen said he thinks the plan is to open his 21-day practice window on Wednesday.

Thielen has missed the last four games the post went on to say. He's dealing with a hamstring injury. The Panther offense is struggling again, even under Andy Dalton, but Thielen's presence would be a welcome addition and perhaps be a reliable target for Dalton. He could also help to open things up for a frustrated Johnson. It remains to be seen if Thielen would play in Week 8, even if his window is opened this week.

John Harbaugh said no change with RB Keaton Mitchell (knee), who remains on injured reserve.

Henry has fit in perfectly for the Ravens and their rushing attack with Hill being the team's RB2 and change of pace back. Mitchell could still be a nice fit in the offense as a more explosive change of pace option, but for now there is no need to rush him back. The post went on to say Harbaugh said he is still "optimistic" and "positive" about Mitchell. Mitchell injured his knee in Week 15 last year.

John Harbaugh: "Mark Andrews is definitely going to have big games catching the ball."

Andrews went his second straight week without producing a catch in the Ravens offense. With Travis Henry's output in Week 4, the Ravens didn't need to pass much. However at this point, it's hard not to be concerned with the lack of fantasy output from a player who was considered among the tops at his position. Owners may want to consider any other option in their lineup at TE, other than another potential zero. Andrews should come back to form, and the Ravens will likely need him to, but at this point, you may want to actually see if first before continuing to put him in lineups.

Panthers have ruled three players out for Sunday:
Damien Lewis (elbow), Shy Tuttle (foot), Lonnie Johnson (hip).

Three other players questionable: Robert Hunt (hip), Diontae Johnson (groin), A'Shawn Robinson (knee).

This would be a bummer if Johnson missed after the offense was absolutely humming while he compiled an 8-122-1 stat line in Week 3. It'd be an even bigger blow to the offense as a whole after they just lost WR Adam Thielen. If Johnson is a go, consider him a WR2 but if he misses this passing attack may end up being one to avoid altogether.

The Panthers will be without one of their key offensive players for at least four weeks.

Carolina is placing Adam Thielen on injured reserve after he suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday’s victory over the Raiders, according to multiple reports.

Thielen sustained the injury while catching a 31-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Thielen is expected to return to the field at some point in 2024, the story said. The rookie Legette and Mingo, along with Moore, all move up the depth chart. Legette had two catches for 42 yards and Mingo caught three for 18 in Week 3. Both players have six total catches this season. Look for Hubbard to likely remain heavily involved in the passing game, too.

John Harbaugh said the Ravens didn’t bring Derrick Henry to Baltimore with the plan to give him 30+ carries each game.

Related players: Lamar Jackson, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell

Jackson ran 16 times in Week 1 to Henry's 13. Zay Flowers had two runs with Hill getting just one. Hill was involved in the passing game with six catches, however. For what it's worth, Jackson missed practice Monday with no word form the team as to why, but it sounds like the Ravens don't play to change their offense. It remains to be seen if Jackson can handle that many runs a week going forward. It's possible Mitchell, upon his return at some point this season, could help out in the run game but he doesn't seem to be close to a return just yet.
