In a competitive AFC, the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and Buffalo Bills<\/a> are poised to be contenders once again in the 2025 NFL season. The two teams provided a close battle in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs last year<\/a> and they’ll meet on “Sunday Night Football” in the first week of the new season.<\/p>\n

Baltimore returns most of its starters on offense from a year ago when it was the No. 1 offense by yards in the NFL and No. 3 in points scored. Tight end Isaiah Likely<\/a> was one of multiple players to enjoy a career season in 2024 with 477 receiving yards and six touchdowns in nine starts.<\/p>\n

Likely is entering his fourth year in the NFL after the Ravens<\/a> selected him in the fourth round, No. 139 overall. He could see an even bigger role in 2025 as longtime starter Mark Andrews<\/a> enters the final year of his current contract.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Likely suffered a small foot fracture<\/a> during training camp on July 29. He was carted off and underwent surgery shortly after to repair it ahead of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest on his status for Week 1.<\/p>\n

Is Isaiah Likely playing vs Bills<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Baltimore’s injury report listed Likely as a “DNP” (did not practice) for Wednesday’s practice ahead of “Sunday Night Football” against Buffalo. He is not expected to play against the Bills, per reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a competitive AFC, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are poised to be contenders once again in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,53,7,4698,759,6,169,4032],"class_list":{"0":"post-348818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-buffalo-bills","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-isaiah-likely","14":"tag-mark-andrews","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-ravens","17":"tag-sunday-night-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115162782927098419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
