Sammy Watkins - Eyeing Week 10 return The Ravens remain hopeful that Watkins (thigh), who is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, will be ready to return Week 10 for a Thursday contest in Miami, Mike Garafol... Impact Watkins missed both of the Ravens' prior two games, but the prevailing expectation was that he would be ready to go following a Week 8 bye. After closing this week with a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday, Watkins was listed as questionable heading into Sunday and seemingly looked to be trending toward suiting up, but the Ravens ultimately chose to exercise some caution with the 28-year-old wideout. Garofolo suggests that Watkins isn't dealing with a setback to his injured thigh; instead, the quick turnaround for the Week 10 game was likely the main factor in holding him out Sunday. In any case, with Watkins out of the mix for another game, the Ravens will likely turn to receivers Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews as their top passing-game options.
