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.

Right Now in Baltimore
Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event
They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.
Running back Tampa 25 years later with Ravens RB coach Matt Simon
These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field
Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
