Overview

  • Rookie Emery Jones Jr. will remain on the non-football-injury list to open the year, sidelined at least four games with eligibility to be activated after Week 4.
  • Edge rusher Adisa Isaac dislocated his elbow against the Cowboys, will undergo ligament-repair surgery, and is expected to start the season on injured reserve with a possible midseason return.
  • Isaac’s status strengthens David Ojabo’s chances of making the initial 53 as Baltimore finalizes its edge rotation.
  • The Ravens can process the NFI and IR moves during the Aug. 26 cutdown, preserving roster flexibility under return-to-play rules.
  • Harbaugh indicated established starters will sit out Saturday’s preseason finale against Washington as the team pivots to Week 1 preparation.
