OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh declared the injury report a personal record for 2017 ahead of Sundayโ€™s meeting with Detroit.
Reserve offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor (shoulder) was the only Baltimore player to miss more than one practice this week and be ruled out against the Lions. Five others were designated as questionable, but the chances of all being on the field appear strong.
โ€œWeโ€™re heading in the right direction with that,โ€ said Harbaugh, who had just one unhealthy scratch in Week 13. โ€œWe need all of our guys. We need to have everybody up and rolling. We have to make some tough decisions, which is a good problem to have. I feel bad for a few guys that really want to play and deserve to play, but arenโ€™t going to get to play. Thatโ€™s different than what we had the rest of the year, so we feel good about that.โ€
Running back Alex Collins (calf) missed practice on Wednesday, but he was a full participant the rest of the week. The starting tailback sprinted from the field to the locker room at the conclusion of Fridayโ€™s workout, which should remove any lingering concerns about the health of his lower leg.
Despite being limited to only seven snaps with a thigh issue in Mondayโ€™s win over Houston, cornerback Marlon Humphrey took limited part in practices all week, a good sign for his availability against the Lions. Itโ€™s worth noting that Baltimore conducted only walk-through practices on Wednesday and Thursday, so that leaves a bit more uncertainty regarding his โ€œquestionableโ€ status than the others.
Inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (ankle), cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles tendon), and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee) were also listed as questionable, but all are expected to start on Sunday. This was the first time since late September that Smith took part in every practice of a game week.
Meanwhile, the Lions did not list quarterback Matthews Stafford (ankle) on the final injury report after he practiced in full all week. However, starting center Travis Swanson (knee) was ruled out while starting right guard T.J. Lang (foot) and starting running back Ameer Abdullah (neck) were both designated as questionable after only returning to the practice field Friday.
According to Weather.com, the Sunday forecast in Baltimore calls for sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-50s and calm winds.
Below is the final injury report of the week:
BALTIMORE
OUT: OL Jermaine Eluemunor (shoulder)
QUESTIONABLE: RB Alex Collins (calf), CB Marlon Humphrey (thigh), LB C.J. Mosley (ankle), CB Jimmy Smith (Achilles tendon), OT Ronnie Stanley (knee)
DETROIT
OUT: CB Jamal Agnew (knee), C Travis Swanson (knee)
QUESTIONABLE: RB Ameer Abdullah (neck), G T.J. Lang (foot)
