Bengals, Ravens Injury Report Today

Jackson, Hurst Among Four Ravens Ruled Out for Week 5

Cincinnati Will Be Without Three Key Defenders

The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals released their final injury reports ahead of their Week 5 matchup, and the news is not good for either team. The Ravens will be without quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee), tight end Mark Andrews (knee), and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (groin). All three players were listed as questionable earlier in the week, but they have now been ruled out. In addition to Jackson, Andrews, and Humphrey, the Ravens will also be without outside linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles). Bowser was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. The Bengals will be without three key defenders in safety Jessie Bates (knee), cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (calf), and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck). Bates and Awuzie were both listed as questionable earlier in the week, but they have now been ruled out. Hendrickson was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. The injuries to Jackson and Andrews are particularly concerning for the Ravens. Jackson is the reigning NFL MVP, and Andrews is one of the best tight ends in the league. The Ravens will need to find a way to replace their production if they want to stay in contention for a playoff spot. The injuries to Bates, Awuzie, and Hendrickson are also a major blow to the Bengals' defense. Bates is one of the best safeties in the league, and Awuzie is a Pro Bowl cornerback. Hendrickson is one of the Bengals' best pass rushers. The Bengals will need to find a way to replace their production if they want to slow down the Ravens' high-powered offense. The Ravens and Bengals are both 2-2 heading into their Week 5 matchup. The Ravens are coming off a bye week, while the Bengals are coming off a loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens are a 3-point favorite in the game.
