Ravens Say Bateman Has High-Ankle Sprain as Humphrey Weighs Finger Surgery After 27–19 Win

Cautious optimism prevails with return timelines expected to firm up after further testing this week.

Overview

  • Coach John Harbaugh confirmed Rashod Bateman sustained a right high-ankle sprain, and the receiver said he does not expect to miss much time after leaving Minnesota in a walking boot.
  • Harbaugh characterized the play that injured Bateman as a hip-drop tackle by Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers that was not flagged, renewing questions about in-game enforcement of the ban.
  • Marlon Humphrey played through a finger injury and made an interception, and Harbaugh said a minor procedure is being considered that could cost roughly a week depending on the decision.
  • Undrafted rookie Jay Higgins IV is expected to be out a few weeks with a leg injury sustained on special teams, according to Harbaugh.
  • Baltimore improved to 4–5 with its third straight win, and targets could shift to DeAndre Hopkins and tight ends if Bateman sits, with more clarity expected by Wednesday.
