Injuries have been the dominant subject surrounding the Ravens this week. However, the primary focus must remain on winning.
Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie, and Patrick Ricard have been ruled out for the 1 p.m. game against the Houston Texans.
Kyle Hamilton, Ronnie Stanley, Odafe Oweh, and Devontez Walker are questionable.
That’s a lot of talent, which means the Ravens will be severely shorthanded.
Will the Ravens overcome those injuries and win anyway? They need to. Starting 1-3 has put the Ravens in a tough spot, injuries or not. The Texans, who are also 1-3, and Ravens were division champions in 2024, but now they’re both trying to avoid starting this season in a big hole. The Ravens need to get healthier. But in the meantime, they need to win.
“Nobody can hang their head and feel sorry for themselves,” Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr said. “We’re in the position that we’re in. We’re 1-3. We haven’t been playing good football, specifically on defense.
“There’s nothing we can change about that, because it’s already happened. We can just change things about how we’re going forward. So, that’s all we’re focused on doing.”
