Ravens Rule Out Van Noy and Madubuike as Alexander, Mitchell Are Scratched Again vs. Lions

Baltimore counters the losses with promotions, controlled snaps, expanded roles for backups.

Overview

The Ravens’ Week 3 inactives versus Detroit are Patrick Ricard (calf), Isaiah Likely (foot), Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), Kyle Van Noy (hamstring), Keaton Mitchell, Jaire Alexander and Carson Vinson.
Head coach John Harbaugh is managing Jaire Alexander’s usage after a full practice week, with an expectation his role will increase soon.
Keaton Mitchell is a healthy scratch for the third straight game as Rasheen Ali handles the No. 3 running back job and kickoff returns.
With their top recent sack leaders out, reporting indicates Van Noy and Madubuike are expected to miss multiple games, pressuring Baltimore’s pass rush depth.
Baltimore elevated Brent Urban from the practice squad, activated David Ojabo for the first time this season and called up Zaire Mitchell-Paden for hybrid tight end/fullback duties.
