Friday’s injury report supported Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s claim about the likelihood of Lee Evans playing against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
It’s highly unlikely.
The veteran wide receiver is listed as doubtful along with linebacker Dannell Ellerbe despite both players having practiced all week on a limited basis. Evans has missed Baltimore’s last six games with an ankle injury.
Linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo is questionable for Sunday and will take a concussion test on Saturday in hopes of being cleared for contact. Both he and Harbaugh expressed optimism, and Ayanbadejo has not experienced any further concussion-related symptoms this week.
A day after sitting out practice, safety Ed Reed and linebacker Terrell Suggs were full participants and are listed as probable for Sunday, alleviating any lingering concerns regarding their availability against the Seahawks.
Rookie running back Anthony Allen was ruled out as he continues to deal with a thigh injury.
For Seattle, quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and wide receiver Sidney Rice are both probable after practicing fully on Friday.
