OWINGS MILLS, Md. — For the first time all season, the Ravens haven’t ruled out a single player on their final injury report of the week, but that wasn’t grounds for a celebratory feeling Friday.
Despite practicing all week on a limited basis, left tackle Ronnie Stanley was designated as doubtful to play in Sunday’s game at Green Bay. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Stanley sustained a concussion near the end of the Week 9 loss to Tennessee, but the 2016 first-round pick being on the practice field all week had been interpreted as a positive sign for his status.
Should Stanley miss his first game of the season — he missed four games as a rookie with a foot injury — Baltimore would presumably move James Hurst out to left tackle with either veteran Luke Bowanko or rookie Jermaine Eluemunor filling in at the left guard spot. It would be Hurst’s first start at left tackle since Oct. 2, 2016 against Oakland.
Stanley’s absence would give the Ravens their fourth different starting offensive line combination of the season, but that doesn’t include several other in-game adjustments due to injuries.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) headlines a list of six players officially designated as questionable to play against the Packers. Smith was the only Baltimore player to miss practices this week for an injury-related reason, but he was a limited participant on Friday and hasn’t missed a game all season despite dealing with Achilles tendinitis since early in the season.
Running back Danny Woodhead’s status remains in question, but he completed another week of practice and appears to have a solid chance to be activated from injured reserve. Since Woodhead is not currently on the 53-man roster, the Ravens haven’t been required to include him on the injury report.
He hasn’t played in a game since re-injuring his left hamstring on the first drive of the season opener on Sept. 10. Woodhead would become the second and final Ravens player to be permitted to return from IR this season after second-year cornerback Maurice Canady was activated earlier this month.
“He went through most of everything we did. I thought he looked pretty good,” said Harbaugh of Woodhead. “It’s just going to come down to the doctors and trainers making their decision. We have until Saturday [at 4 p.m.] to make that part of the decision, then really, we have until an hour and a half before the game to really determined whether he will be out there.
“We’re ready if he goes, and we’re ready if he doesn’t go.”
Tight end Nick Boyle (toe), wide receiver Michael Campanaro (shoulder), running back Terrance West (calf), and rookie outside linebacker Tim Williams (hamstring) were all listed as questionable after being full participants in practices all week. Campanaro missed the final two games before the bye while West and Williams have missed four consecutive contests apiece.
Meanwhile, the Packers officially ruled out starting running back Ty Montgomery (ribs) and starting safety Morgan Burnett (groin), two significant losses for Sunday. Rookie running back Jamaal Williams is expected to start against the Ravens with Montgomery and fellow rookie Aaron Jones (knee) currently sidelined.
Williams rushed for 67 yards on 20 carries in last week’s 23-16 win over Chicago.
“This kid from Brigham Young — he’s the real deal,” Harbaugh said. “He runs hard, he has [good] feet. I think he closed the game out for them last week in four-minute [offense], which is very impressive. We’re treating him like he’s Jim Taylor as far as we’re concerned.
“We have to be ready to stop the run. This is a good running team. These guys run the ball very well.”
According to Weather.com, the Sunday forecast in Green Bay calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures reaching 32 degrees with winds 10 to 15 miles per hour.
