DET Lions vs BAL Ravens Injury Reports

So far, the only player ruled out for the Lions is pass rusher Marcus Davenport. Davenport has only played in eight games in the last three seasons, recording a total of 3.5 sacks. He was expected to be Detroit’s No.2 edge rusher across from the incomparable Aidan Hutchinson.

Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Decker is dealing with a shoulder injury. If he is unable to go, the Lions would likely go to 2024 fourth-round pick Giovanni Manu. The mountain of a tackle made his NFL debut in Week 1.

Detroit’s back seven is up in the air for Monday night with three critical pieces in limbo. Jack Campbell already has 18 tackles in two games, and he would be a key piece to the Lions slowing down the Baltimore rushing attack. Kerby Joseph led the NFL with nine interceptions last year, and he had one last week. D.J. Reed is Detroit’s top corner and stickiest player in man coverage.

Four different Ravens have the ominous “unspecified” tag, including their top two cornerbacks, Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins. Humphrey had six interceptions last year en route to an All-Pro nod. Wiggins would be sorely missed as his 4.2 speed would be an asset in covering Detroit’s Jameson Williams.

Two auxiliary pieces of the Ravens’ rushing attack will miss their third straight game. Isaiah Likely, useful as a mismatch creator in both phases, will be replaced by Charlie Kolar. Patrick Ricard will once again be replaced by tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden as a pseudo fullback.

On the defensive side, both Nnamdi Madubuike and Kyle Van Noy will be missed. Madubuike had a sack in both of Baltimore’s games to this point, while Van Noy is coming off a 12.5-sack season. The focus shifts to two rookies: Aeneas Peebles on the interior and Mike Green off the edge. Both players are looking for their first NFL sacks.
