Week 16: Ravens @ Bengals

[HoosierCat]

Damnit.

[HoosierCat]

The Ravens have placed veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, putting the status of one of their top pass rushers in doubt for a critical Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Baltimore also activated veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee from injured reserve to the 53-man roster, meaning he can return to practice and play this week.

Houston has the third-most sacks on the team (4.5) and has been one of the most consistent sources of quarterback pressure. He had a season-high four quarterback hits against the Bengals and Joe Burrow in the Ravens' Week 7 loss.

McPhee was placed on injured reserve a month ago, on Nov. 20. He was dealing with a knee issue and underwent a procedure that put him on the shelf but didn't end his season. McPhee is a physical edge presence, particularly adept at stuffing the run, and an emotional leader on the defense. The Ravens could use both as they get ready to take on the Bengals.

I've heard about the Bengals and linebackers somewhere...
Hmmmmm...

Seriously though, that sucks they are so thin.  They are going to have to get creative with all these injuries.

Maybe Lou needs to think about some more of those 3 safety sets with Allen coming in and Bell down in the  box

Literally injuries have destroyed a deep group. They had six good ones. Now they have two. Not sure why you think drafting more would have fixed that. They have FOUR recent draft picks in their top 6 (Wilson, ADJ, Pratt, Bailey) - they haven't ignored the position.
