originally expected to miss multiple games<\/a> due to a Week 2 hamstring injury, but he participated in practice on Friday, albeit in a limited capacity. He is listed as questionable for Sunday\u2019s matchup with the Chiefs, giving him a chance to limit his absence to just one game.<\/p>\nVan Noy\u2019s return would fortify a Ravens front seven that struggled without him and Nnamdi Madubuike last week. Rookie outside linebacker Mike Green disappointed in an expanded role, and the unit as a whole couldn\u2019t stop the run or get to Jared Goff for a single snap.<\/p>\n
With only one practice under his belt, Van Noy seems like a long shot to play on Sunday. If active, he would likely take limited snaps on key passing downs. That may force the Ravens to adjust their game day roster plans and keep David Ojabo active for more depth. If Van Noy can\u2019t go, a Week 5 return is certainly in play.<\/p>\n
Here are the Ravens\u2019 final injury designations for Week 4:<\/p>\n
Likely was upgraded to full participation on Friday, but, as his \u2018questionable\u2019 designation indicates, his status for Sunday\u2019s game remains up in the air. Minimal practice time should not be an issue for the fourth-year tight end, who has looked very comfortable in Todd Monken\u2019s offense over the last two years. Like Van Noy, Likely could play on a snap count and rotate in with Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar.<\/p>\n
After missing the first two practices, Stanley was a limited participant on Friday, a positive sign for his availability vs. the Chiefs after his absence on Wednesday and Thursday. John Harbaugh characterized him as \u201cday-to-day\u201d after practice.<\/p>\n
Both Stanley and Likely could probably be characterized as game-time decisions. It would not be surprising to see both players go through a pre-game warmup to help the team make a final determination.<\/p>\n
Jones is trending towards playing on Sunday, a massive relief for a banged-up defensive line that will be without Madubuike and Washington.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs are entering Sunday\u2019s game in excellent health. Head coach Andy Reid said that Xavier Worthy will make his return in Week 4 after missing the last two games due to injury. Defensive ends Mike Danna and Asthon Gillotte were both downgraded on Friday and are unlikely to play, but the rest of the team seems ready to go.<\/p>\n
