Preparing to host the Cleveland Browns in a short week, the Ravens will be close to full strength as they take the field for Thursday Night Football.
Offensive lineman Jah Reid (calf) was the only Baltimore player to work on a limited basis Wednesday as he continues to re-acclimate himself to practicing after initially injuring his lower leg in June’s mandatory minicamp. He is listed as questionable against the Browns, but it is highly unlikely that he will be listed as active after only having worked on a limited basis in a few practices over the last week.
Linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo and cornerback Lardarius Webb were both full participants on Wednesday after being limited with knee injuries earlier in the week. Both defensive players are listed as probable.
Meanwhile, Cleveland’s final injury report wasn’t nearly as favorable as starting wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi has been ruled out with a hamstring injury after not practicing all week. He leads the Browns with 145 receiving yards and is second in catches (nine) behind running back Trent Richardson’s 11.
Tight end Alex Smith and linebacker James-Michael Johnson have also been ruled out for Thursday’s game.
Here’s the final injury report for Thursday night:
BALTIMORE
QUESTIONABLE: T Jah Reid (calf)
PROBABLE: LB Brendon Ayanbadejo (knee), CB Lardarius Webb (knee)
CLEVELAND
OUT: LB James-Michael Johnson (ribs/oblique), WR Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring), TE Alex Smith (head)
QUESTIONABLE: DB Ray Ventrone (hand)
PROBABLE: DB Sheldon Brown (chest), WR Joshua Cribbs (knee), OL Jason Pinkston (ankle), DL Frostee Rucker (wrist), RB Trent Richardson (knee), LS Christian Yount (shoulder)
