Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns Inactive and Injury Reports for Saturday Night Football

• In  the Ravens vs Browns inactive and injury report, quarterback Lamar Jackson is out with a knee injury
• Baltimore offensive linemen Kevin Zeitler (knee) and Morgan Moses (knee) are both questionable
• Read below to find out the main injuries prior to kickoff

If the Baltimore Ravens want to keep pace with the surging Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North race, they’re going to have to do it Saturday against the Cleveland Browns without Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens’ pivot is out a second straight game with a knee injury. Tyler Huntley will make his second straight start, after clearing concussion protocol. He was knocked out of last week’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It’s basically a must-win for the Browns, who sit at 5-8. The Week 15 matchup will mark the home debut for Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson. They enter as 3-point favorites, with a total of 37.5.

This despite the fact Baltimore has won three straight and six of their last seven.

Catch this game at 4:30pm ET from FirstEnergy Stadium, in a game you can see live on NFL Network.

Baltimore Ravens Injury Report

Add one more to the Ravens’ injured reserve list, as cornerback Daryl Worley became the 11th this week with a hamstring injury.

Not only are they compromised at pivot, their offensive line, which powers the third-best run game in the NFL, is dinged up.

Guard Kevin Zeitler (knee) and tackle Morgan Moses (knee) are both questionable. While Zeitler and Moses’ status won’t likely be known until closer to kickoff, tackle Ronnie Stanley was limited in practice all week for rest, but should be available.

Fortunately for Baltimore, many of their key pieces on the injury report this week just needed a break from the rigors of the season.

From @NFLGameDay Kickoff: QB Snoop Huntley starts today for the #Ravens, but Lamar Jackson (PCL sprain) should be back soon. The team is hopeful he'll be back at practice this week and play Christmas Eve against the #Falcons. pic.twitter.com/AVgAzQgvrP

Defensive lineman Calais Campbell, linebackers Justin Houston and Jason Pierre-Paul and cornerback Marcus Peters either missed all or were limited in practice this week for rest. They should be available against Cleveland.

Punter Jordan Stout (knee) is listed as questionable.

Cleveland Browns Injury Report

The most significant injury for the Browns was at linebacker. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah suffered a season-ending foot injury against the Bengals last week. He’s now the 15th player to hit IR for the Browns, and the fourth at the linebacker position.

Offensively, the Browns may be a little shorthanded at receiver, as David Bell is dealing with thumb and toe injuries. He’s listed as questionable, though some reports indicate he is not in line to play.

Cleveland’s leading receiver Amari Cooper is  dealing with a core muscle injury, but was also listed as taking rest, which indicates he should be a go.

Any losses at the skill position should be noted as you’re making your picks in the Ravens vs Browns player props, perhaps setting up a single-game parlay.

Cleveland’s veterans all were limited in practice this week but for rest. D-linemen Myles Garrett and Jadaveon Clowney, and O-linemen Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin should all be set for Saturday.

How Can Injuries Affect Ravens vs Browns Lines?

The Jackson injury has set this line and barring any last minute injuries, should stay at this point.

Even with Watson looking fairly rusty in his two starts, this line bakes in the fact that Huntley struggled and the Ravens’ offense struggled last week in a 16-14 win against the Steelers,

As Huntley is coming off a head injury, it’s a little concerning that undrafted rookie Anthony Brown would be the next option should there be another QB injury.
