The Ravens listed cornerback Lardarius Webb as questionable for the second straight game as they made final preparations for Thursday nightโs game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After practicing fully for a second straight week, Webb was given the same designation as he did leading into the season-opening game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The sixth-year defensive back did not play in Week 1 despite looking good in a pre-game workout roughly two hours before kickoff.
Webb told reporters earlier this week that he expected to make his 2014 debut on Thursday night. He missed the entire preseason after initially suffering back spasms on July 25 and did not return to the practice field until Aug. 30.
โIโm ready to get it going,โ Webb said Tuesday. โWho better than Pittsburgh? Iโm ready. Iโm feeling good. Iโm just ready to get out there and get everything going and just play some football.โ
Pro Bowl right guard Marshal Yanda was listed as probable after missing Mondayโs practice while dealing with a blister on his foot. He practiced fully on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Steelers ruled out running back Dri Archer (ankle/knee) and wide receiver Lance Moore (groin) and listed 14 others as probable for Week 2.
Here is the final injury report of the week:
