Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing NFL Network report Likely is not expected to suit up Sunday night in Buffalo.
  • Likely sustained a foot fracture on July 29, underwent surgery, and missed the remainder of training camp.
  • The Ravens left him on the active roster rather than injured reserve, and John Harbaugh said he is a little ahead of schedule.
