OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens are expected to again be shorthanded at the wide receiver position Sunday as Jeremy Maclin is listed as doubtful to play against Cincinnati.
The veteran hasn’t practiced or played since injuring his left knee in the first quarter of the Week 15 win at Cleveland on Dec. 17. With Maclin unlikely to suit up, second-year wide receiver Chris Moore is expected to start opposite Mike Wallace for the second straight week.
Wide receiver Mike Wallace (knee), right tackle Austin Howard (knee), and defensive tackle Brandon Williams (back) were all listed as questionable on the final injury report, but all were full participants in Friday’s workout, leaving very little doubt about their availability against the Bengals. Fullback and defensive lineman Patrick Ricard (neck) was limited in practices all week — wearing a red non-contact vest over his jersey — and is also questionable for Sunday’s game.
The Bengals will be without starting left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi (shoulder), who will miss his second straight contest. Standout linebacker Vontaze Burfict (shoulder) is listed as doubtful to play after sitting out practices all week.
Rookie running back Joe Mixon (ankle) and cornerback Williams Jackson (knee) are questionable for Cincinnati.
According to Weather.com, the Sunday forecast in Baltimore calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 20s and falling after the 4:25 p.m. kickoff. Winds will be 10 to 20 miles per hour with no chance of precipitation.
Below is the final injury report of the week:
BALTIMORE
DOUBTFUL: WR Jeremy Maclin (knee)
QUESTIONABLE: OL Jermaine Eluemunor (shoulder), OT Austin Howard (knee), DL/FB Patrick Ricard (neck), WR Mike Wallace (knee), DT Brandon Williams (back)
CINCINNATI
