Lamar Jackson was absent with a knee injury when the Baltimore Ravens’ season came down to two big games at Cincinnati eight months ago.
It’s not as though this is a must-win for Cincinnati, which also started 0-2 last season, but taking a two-game lead over the Bengals would be big for the Ravens. Baltimore plays three divisional road games in the first five weeks, starting with this one.
Although Jackson is fine, the Ravens are already feeling the weight of injuries. They lost running back J.K. Dobbins to a torn Achilles tendon last weekend. Safety Marcus Williams , cornerback Marlon Humphrey , center Tyler Linderbaum and tackle Ronnie Stanley have not practiced this week.So the secondary will have some question marks against a Cincinnati offense which, last weekend notwithstanding, has shown it can pile yards through the air.
As for Baltimore’s offense, it wasn’t great in its first game under new coordinator Todd Monken, and injuries to Andrews and the two offensive linemen are a concern. “We were just off. I would just say that it’s a work in progress,” Monken said. “The best thing we have is another opportunity to correct it.”The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
