The Baltimore Ravens will be facing off against the Indianapolis Colts in a Monday Night Football matchup. The game will mark Baltimore’s third primetime game in their first five contests to kick off the 2021 season, as they’ve been getting under the bright lights early and often so far.
Before the game, the Ravens activated wide receiver Miles Boykin off of injured reserve while also elevating two players from their practice squad to the active roster for Week 5 in veteran offensive tackle Andre Smith and veteran defensive back Jordan Richards.

Boykin is the best blocking wide receiver on the team and will give Baltimore another weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson to throw to. The wideout and the quarterback have had trouble getting on the same page at times, but hopefully the third-year player can take a leap this season.
Smith has been called up to the active roster multiple times, and will provide tackle depth in the event that Alejandro Villanueva can’t play or one of the starting tackles were to get injured if Villanueva can suit up.
Richards will give the Ravens an experienced veteran who could have a bigger role in the event that one or both of safeties DeShon Elliott or Geno stone can’t play due to the injuries that they’re dealing with.
