BALTIMORE RAVENS NEWS

Mark Andrews - Cleared for Thursday Andrews (undisclosed) is not listed on the Ravens' injury report ahead of Thursday night's season opener against the Chiefs.

Impact Andrews, who was involved in a car accident Aug. 14, was back at practice Friday, and with his name not listed on Monday's practice/injury report, the tight end is in line to be available to face Kansas City in Week 1. As long as he can stay healthy this coming season, Andrews will remain a key receiving target for QB Lamar Jackson, along with top WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, a context that keeps him firmly in the weekly fantasy lineup mix.

Nick Samac - Left off injury report Samac (lower leg) wasn't on the Ravens' injury report Monday.

Impact Samac has been battling a lower leg injury over the last week or so, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue after being left off Baltimore's injury report Monday. Expect the 2024 seventh-round pick to serve as the Ravens' backup center during his rookie campaign.

Kyle Hamilton - Past hip issue Hamilton (hip) was left off the Ravens' injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Hamilton sustained a hip injury during a joint practice with the Packers in late August, but it now appears the 23-year-old has moved past the issue. Now that Hamilton is back at full health, he's expected to continue being one of the most versatile and valuable defensive weapons in the NFL.

Rasheen Ali - Limited in practice Monday Ali (neck) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.

Impact Ali is listed with a neck injury on Monday's first official practice report of the season, indicating that he's managed to clear the league's concussion protocol. The rookie fifth-round pick still appears to be managing a stinger sustained during Baltimore's preseason opener, though. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his participation level ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs.

Tyler Linderbaum - Past neck issue Linderbaum (neck) told reporters Monday that he's ready to go for Thursday night's Week 1 matchup against the Chiefs, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Linderbaum missed roughly half of Baltimore's training camp due to a neck injury, but it now appears the 2022 first-round pick has moved past the issue. Expect Linderbaum to be the Ravens' top center in 2024 now that he's returned to full health.

Adisa Isaac - Still dealing with hamstring injury Isaac (hamstring) didn't practice Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Isaac hurt his hamstring during rookie minicamp in May and was eventually placed on the active/non-football injury list. He was reinstated from that list Aug. 6, but the rookie linebacker appears to still be less than 100 percent. Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun speculates that Isaac could begin the campaign on IR.

Tyler Linderbaum - Sheds non-contact jersey Linderbaum (neck) practiced Sunday without a non-contact jersey, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Linderbaum dealt with a soft-tissue injury for most of August, but he appears to be making progress and seems to have a good chance of starting at center in Baltimore's Week 1 contest against the Chiefs on Thursday. His status should gain more clarity when the first injury report of the week is released Monday.

Impact Andrews is practicing for the first time since having been involved in a car accident Aug. 14. The Ravens released a statement declaring that Andrews was uninjured in the incident, so his absence from practice for the last two weeks seems to have been mostly precautionary. The star tight end now has six days left to ramp up his activity level ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs on Sept. 5.
