OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” The Ravens should have their entire 53-man roster available for Sundayโ€™s wild-card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Wide receiver Chris Moore, cornerback Tavon Young, and guard Alex Lewis were all designated as questionable on the final injury report, but all should be available as Baltimore makes its first playoff appearance since the 2014 season. Young was a limited participant in Fridayโ€™s walk-through after missing workouts on Wednesday and Thursday with a groin issue thatโ€™s limited him for much of the last two months.
Mooreโ€™s status didnโ€™t appear to be in any doubt after he practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday, but the special-teams standout was absent from Fridayโ€™s session because of a hip ailment. The third-year wide receiver left the Week 17 win over Cleveland with a shoulder injury, leaving Willie Snead and Ty Montgomery to handle kick returns in the fourth quarter.
โ€œWeโ€™ll be fine. We have guys ready to go,โ€ head coach John Harbaugh said. โ€œI think Chris will be out there; Iโ€™d be surprised if he wasnโ€™t. But, just in case, we have guys ready to roll.โ€
Lewis has been practicing fully for the last three weeks, but he hasnโ€™t been active since Week 13 while dealing with a shoulder injury. Veteran James Hurst has taken his place as the starting left guard with rookie Bradley Bozeman also receiving occasional snaps there.
The Chargersโ€™ injury picture isnโ€™t as flattering as starting outside linebacker Jatavis Brown is officially out with an ankle injury thatโ€™s expected to sideline him for the entire postseason. Brown collected eight tackles in the Week 16 meeting with the Ravens, making his absence significant against Baltimoreโ€™s second-ranked rushing attack.
Los Angeles is also unlikely to have starting nose tackle Brandon Mebane, who was officially listed as doubtful for a non-injury reason. The 33-year-old has been away from the team this week to be with his infant daughter, who was born with a serious heart condition in November.
Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon (ankle) was a full participant in practice all week while backup running back Austin Ekeler (groin) is questionable to play after being limited all week.
It remains to be seen whether the Chargers will activate tight end Hunter Henry (knee) from injured reserve by Saturdayโ€™s 4 p.m. deadline to do so. Head coach Anthony Lynn has told reporters that Henry will be on a pitch count if heโ€™s able to make his season debut after suffering a torn ACL during organized team activities in the spring.
According to Weather.com, the Sunday forecast in Baltimore calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the low 50s with winds 10 to 15 miles per hour.
Below is the final injury report of the week:
BALTIMORE
QUESTIONABLE: G Alex Lewis (shoulder), WR Chris Moore (shoulder/hip), CB Tavon Young (groin)
LOS ANGELES
OUT: LB Jatavis Brown (ankle)
DOUBTFUL: DT Brandon Mebane (non-injury)
QUESTIONABLE: RB Austin Ekeler (groin)
