OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” The Ravens could find themselves thin at outside linebacker for their home opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
As expected, outside linebacker Zaโ€™Darius Smith was declared out with a knee and ankle injury sustained in last weekโ€™s win over Cincinnati, but rookie outside linebacker Tim Williams was listed as questionable on the final injury report after missing practice time with an illness this week. The third-round pick from Alabama did return to the field on a limited basis Friday, but his absence could be detrimental to his game-day status after he was already a healthy scratch in Week 1.
If Williams were to be inactive, the Ravens would have only three healthy outside linebackers in starters Terrell Suggs and Matt Judon and rookie second-round pick Tyus Bowser. In past seasons, the presence of Albert McClellan would help as the veteran can play all four linebacker positions, but he was lost for the season with a torn ACL last month.
Baltimore added wide receiver Michael Campanaro to Fridayโ€™s injury report after he was a limited practice participant because of an ankle issue. He was listed as questionable for Sundayโ€™s game at M&T Bank Stadium.
With veteran running back Danny Woodhead placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury earlier this week, many have identified Campanaro as someone who could see more targets from the slot and in the underneath passing game. Of course, injuries have mostly derailed the start of the River Hill graduateโ€™s NFL career.
After missing practices all week, cornerbacks Jaylen Hill (hamstring) and Sheldon Price (concussion) were officially ruled out for Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Browns confirmed that defensive linemen Myles Garrett (ankle) and T.Y. McGill (back) will not play in Week 2. Veteran guard Kevin Zeitler (thumb) was removed from the final injury report after practicing fully on Friday.
Below is the final injury report of the week:
BALTIMORE
OUT: CB Jaylen Hill (thigh), CB Sheldon Price (concussion), LB Zaโ€™Darius Smith (knee, ankle)
QUESTIONABLE: WR Michael Campanaro (ankle), LB Tim Williams (illness)
CLEVELAND
OUT: DL Myles Garrett (ankle), DL T.Y. McGill (back)
