The Baltimore Ravens wrapped up their final day of practice before taking on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. They could be getting one of their wide receivers back on the field in Sammy Watkins, but a surprising development came out of Friday’s session, as wide receiver Rashod Bateman was absent.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh gave an update on the rookie after practice on Friday, saying that the receiver’s injury is “nothing serious” and that he “has a real good chance for Sunday”.

Some people want the team to exercise caution with Bateman, as the rookie dealt with a core muscle injury early in the season. However, it will be up to Bateman and the Ravens themselves to determine if Bateman looks and feels good enough to play on Sunday.
