The only Raven setbacks were injuries to a couple of backups (WR Marcus Smith and third-string quarterback John Beck) and Gano's 28-yard attempt that hit the right upright to end the game (it came off a high snap).

Beck hurt his throwing shoulder in the second half and didn't know the extent of the injury after the game. Smith, who was vying for one of the top four receiver spots, limped off the field in the second quarter after making a special teams tackle. On crutches after the game, he said he could have torn his anterior cruciate ligament or medial collateral ligament.

"It looks serious," coach John Harbaugh said of Smith.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
