The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a bit of a rest after playing the New York Jets on Thursday in Week 15. That’ll give them 10 days from last week’s game to this week’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
Thanks to that rest and a little bit of luck, Baltimore’s injury report to start this week is squeaky clean. Though four players did not practice on Wednesday, all were for non-injury reasons — likely a veteran’s day off to keep those specific players fresh for the postseason.
Let’s take a look at Wednesday’s injury report for the Ravens vs. Browns in Week 16.
Baltimore Ravens injuries:
| Player | Position | Injury | Wed | Thur | Fri | Game status |
| Mark Ingram | RB | NIR | DNP | |||
| Jimmy Smith | CB | NIR | DNP | |||
| Earl Thomas | S | NIR | DNP | |||
| Marshal Yanda | G | NIR | DNP | |||
| Chris Board | LB | Concussion | FP | |||
| Ronnie Stanley | T | Concussion | FP |
It’s beyond rare for an NFL team to be this healthy at this point in the season and it’s something that could seriously benefit the Ravens in the playoffs. With a chance to clinch the No. 1 seed this week, Baltimore could have nothing to play for in Week 17 allowing them to rest their starters. And with a first-round bye, in that case, the Ravens could actually head into the playoffs with two weeks of rest to get even healthier.
Cleveland Browns injuries:
| Player | Position | Injury | Wed | Thur | Fri | Game status |
| T Kendall Lamm | T | Knee | DNP | |||
| Sheldon Richardson | DT | Back | DNP | |||
