After three full days of practice, wide receiver Rashod Bateman and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy are good to go for the Ravens’ game Sunday against the New York Giants. Meanwhile, their opponent’s injury report includes a long list of starters as questionable or out.
Coming off the bye, Bateman returned to practice after leaving the Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles with knee soreness. He was a full participant in every practice, helping a receiving corps that is missing Diontae Johnson, who is serving a one-game suspension after general manager Eric DeCosta said the veteran refused to play in the Eagles game.
Van Noy missed the Eagles game with hamstring and neck injuries and also returned to practice after the bye.
The Ravens could see the return of two players from injured reserve. Nose tackle Michael Pierce (calf), a run-stopper who is a regular part of the defensive line rotation, practiced all week and was listed as questionable. Rookie cornerback T.J. Tampa (ankle), who has contributed mostly on special teams, returned to practice this week after missing six straight games. He’s listed as questionable.
Two other rookies, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (hamstring) and safety Sanoussi Kane (hamstring), returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday. Kane missed the first two practices, and Isaac missed Thursday’s. Both are questionable.
The Giants, whose bye was in Week 11, have four players designated as out, along with two doubtful players and four listed as questionable.
Quarterback Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) and offensive lineman Jon Runyan (ankle) are the most notable players who have been ruled out. Starting cornerbacks Tae Banks (rib) and Cor’Dale Flott (quad) are questionable and would be significant losses as well.
