The Baltimore Ravens made a big decision regarding one of their defensive tackles ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite practicing as a full participant on Friday, Ravens defensive tackle Taven Bryan will not be activated from injured reserve and was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday’s game.
Bryan was placed on injured reserve following a knee injury he suffered in the Ravens’ Week 12 victory over the New York Jets. He was designated to return from IR on December 25, opening his three-week practice window.

The Ravens also ruled out another player for the Week 18 showdown with the Steelers — wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who missed practice all week with an illness.
