OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” The Ravens only listed one player as much as questionable on their final injury report of the week as defensive end Chris Cantyโ€™s status remains up in the air.
The veteran did not practice all week as he continues to deal with an ankle injury. Canty told reporters Wednesday that he wasnโ€™t concerned about his status for Sundayโ€™s game against the Houston Texans, but the Ravens would likely use reserve Lawrence Guy in his place at the 5-technique defensive end spot should he not be able to play.
John Harbaugh acknowledged Canty has progressed while resting this week, but the head coach wouldnโ€™t bite when asked if heโ€™d call the defensive lineman a โ€œgame-time decision.โ€
โ€œI wouldnโ€™t call it anything,โ€ the seventh-year head coach said.
Eight other Ravens players were listed as probable on the final injury report as linebacker Terrell Suggs was the only new name added. The 2011 Defensive Player of the Year received the day off as head coach John Harbaugh has done for several Fridays now.
Houstonโ€™s injury report was gloomier as tight end Garrett Graham was ruled out due to a high ankle sprain. Second-year wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is questionable and considered a game-time decision to play against the Ravens after not practicing all week.
Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson (concussion) has been officially cleared and is listed as probable after missing last Sundayโ€™s game against Indianapolis.
Texans coach Bill Oโ€™Brien still hasnโ€™t named his starting quarterback for Sundayโ€™s game publicly, but reports from Houston indicate Case Keenum is expected to be under center instead of Thad Lewis. A member of the St. Louis Rams practice squad before being re-signed by the Texans on Monday, Keenum made eight starts last season, throwing nine touchdowns and six interceptions while failing to win a game.
Keenum spent the entire offseason and preseason learning Oโ€™Brienโ€™s system, giving him a mental edge over Lewis, who was only signed by the Texans after Ryan Mallett suffered a season-ending pectoral injury late last month.
The University of Houston product will become the fourth quarterback to play for the Texans this season, but the Ravens shouldnโ€™t sleep on his aggressive nature. In his first three starts against Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Arizona last year, Keenum threw for 822 yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions, showing heโ€™s capable of playing well in small sample sizes.
The referee for Sundayโ€™s game will be Walt Coleman.
Itโ€™s unclear whether the NRG Stadium roof will be open or closed for Sundayโ€™s game, but Weather.com is calling for partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 60s and light winds up to five miles per hour in Houston.
Below is the final injury report of the week:
