Ravens vs. Bengals Injury Report: Key Players Questionable for Week 18 Matchup

Ravens Injury Report

The Baltimore Ravens will be without several key players when they face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (shoulder), outside linebacker Tyus Bowser (knee), and safety Geno Stone (concussion) have all been ruled out. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) and running back Gus Edwards (knee) are both questionable.

Humphrey's absence is a big blow to the Ravens' defense. He is one of the team's best cornerbacks and his coverage skills will be missed. Bowser has also been a key contributor this season, recording 4.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss. Stone is a versatile defensive back who can play multiple positions.

Jackson's status is up in the air after he suffered a knee injury in last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he is unable to play, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will get the start. Edwards has been dealing with a knee injury for most of the season and it is unclear if he will be able to play.

Bengals Injury Report

The Cincinnati Bengals will also be without some key players in Week 18. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) has been ruled out, along with cornerback Eli Apple (ankle). Running back Joe Mixon (concussion) and safety Vonn Bell (knee) are both questionable.

Chase is the Bengals' leading receiver and his absence will be a major blow to their offense. Apple is a starting cornerback and his coverage skills will be missed. Mixon is the Bengals' starting running back and he is questionable with a concussion. Bell is a key member of the Bengals' defense and his absence would be a big loss.

Conclusion

The Ravens and Bengals will both be without some key players in Week 18. It will be interesting to see how they adjust and who steps up to fill the void. The Ravens are still in the running for a wild card berth, while the Bengals have already clinched a playoff spot. Both teams will be looking to finish the regular season on a high note.
