The Baltimore Ravens’ playoff opener in the Divisional round is now set — they will host the surprising Houston Texans on Saturday as they begin their quest for their third Super Bowl championship.
With just four days to go before that game, arguably their biggest task is to become as healthy as possible to minimize the chances of an upset taking place.
The Baltimore Ravens’ playoff opener in the Divisional round is now set — they will host the surprising Houston Texans on Saturday as they begin their quest for their third Super Bowl championship.
With just four days to go before that game, arguably their biggest task is to become as healthy as possible to minimize the chances of an upset taking place.
Eight players — tight end Mark Andrews, wide receivers Devin Duvernay, Zay Flowers, and Tylan Wallace, linebackers Malik Harrison, Odafe Oweh, and Del’Shawn Phillips, and cornerback Marlon Humphrey — were listed on Tuesday’s injury report, per the team’s official Twitter account.
Of those men, Andrews is perhaps the most important, as he led the team in receiving yards per game and has arguably been quarterback Lamar Jackson’s favorite target for some time now.
He has been out with an ankle injury since Week 11, but there’s a chance he will suit up on Saturday.
Flowers has had a very promising rookie year with 858 receiving yards and five touchdowns, while Humphrey, a three-time Pro Bowler, will be needed to contain Houston’s passing attack.
Baltimore finished the season fourth in points scored and first in points allowed, and with an NFL-high 13 regular-season wins, they’re favored to represent the AFC in next month’s Super Bowl.
But the Texans are no joke, as rookie QB C.J. Stroud has proven himself under pressure and wide receiver Nico Collins has become a big-time threat.
