Rasheen Ali - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Inactive for Week 11 Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Impact Ali was sidelined for the Ravens' previous three games due to an ankle injury. However, despite being over the injury, Ali will be in street clothes Sunday as the Ravens go with a backfield of Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell.

Off injury report Ali (ankle) was absent from the Ravens' injury report Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ali was sidelined for Baltimore's past four games due to an ankle injury; however, his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's moved past the issue. The rookie from Marshall has appeared in just one game this season, failing to record a stat across nine special-teams snaps. He's expected to serve as the Ravens' No. 4 running back as the season progresses, playing behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell.

Not suiting up Thursday Ali (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's Week 10 contest against Cincinnati.

Impact Ali was able to practice in full both Tuesday and Wednesday, but he isn't going to take the field on Thursday Night Football. The rookie's inactive status coincides with the season debut of fellow running back Keaton Mitchell, who was activated off the reserve/PUP list Thursday following a long layoff as a result of tearing the ACL in his left knee last December. With Mitchell officially back in the fold, Ali could have a hard time seeing game action on offense moving forward.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Still iffy for Thursday Ali (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Ali logged back-to-back full practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, but his status for Week 10 will remain in question until the team releases its inactive list at about 6:45 PM ET on Thursday. Even if healthy, it's also possible Ali could remain sidelined as a coach's decision, if Keaton Mitchell (knee) is moved to the active roster and suits up for the game.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to full practice Tuesday Ali (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Tuesday's injury report.

Impact Ali has been sidelined for the Ravens' last three games due to an ankle injury, but the rookie fifth-round pick appears to be on track to return against the Bengals on Thursday. Ali would serve as the No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill if Keaton Mitchell (knee) is not activated from the PUP list before Thursday's game.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

No go for Week 9 Ali (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.

Impact Ali will be forced to miss a third consecutive game after suffering an ankle injury in Week 6 versus the Commanders. The running back has only logged nine snaps on special teams this season, so his absence doesn't carry a major impact for Baltimore.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Begins week with DNP Ali (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact The rookie running back from Marshall has been sidelined for each of the Ravens' last two games due to an ankle issue, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time. Ali likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Baltimore's Week 9 matchup against the Broncos.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus Browns Ali (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Impact Ali has been struggling with injuries all year, appearing in just nine special teams snaps in Week 6 against Washington this whole year. The 5-foot-11 running back likely won't have much of a role with beyond special teams with the team when he is able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Nov. 3 at home against Denver.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing yet Ali (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Ali, a rookie fifth-round pick, came off IR on Oct. 12 after missing Baltimore's first five games due to a neck injury, but he then sustained an ankle issue after suiting up Week 6 against the Commanders. He'll have one more opportunity, on Friday, to get back on the practice field prior to Sunday's road game against the Browns.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Tampa Bay Ali (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Ali was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but he finished the week with back-to-back DNPs and he will not make the trip to Tampa Bay. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 against the Browns on Oct. 27. The Ravens will likely go with just two running backs Monday in Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, as practice squad RB Chris Collier has already been elevated to the active roster for the maximum three times.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Friday Ali (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ali appears to be trending toward not playing in Monday night's matchup against the Buccaneers, as he downgraded from limited participation in Thursday's practice to a DNP on Friday. The rookie out of Marshall made his NFL debut in Baltimore's Week 6 win over the Commanders, playing just nine special-teams snaps. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Saturday in order to suit up in Week 7.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Now dealing with ankle injury Ali (neck) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Impact Ali missed the first five games of the regular season due to a neck injury, but he was able to return for Week 6 against the Commanders, during which he logged nine snaps on special teams. It appears the rookie fifth-rounder picked up an ankle injury in the process, which limited his practice participation Thursday. Ali will have two more chances to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Monday's showdown against the Buccaneers.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to make NFL debut Ali (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Ali missed the Ravens' first five games while on IR due to a neck issue he sustained in early September. While he's cleared to make his NFL debut, the rookie fifth-round pick is expected to have a minor reserve role behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Taken off IR Ali (neck) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Ali landed on IR in early September due to a neck issue and sat out Baltimore's first five games. He was designated to return Oct. 3 but remained on IR until his activation Saturday. If he's cleared to suit up Sunday, Ali -- who is officially questionable for the contest -- could make his NFL regular-season debut, but he probably won't get many offensive snaps behind a healthy Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ravens Activate Rasheen Ali, Elevate Yannick Ngakoue to Face Commanders Rookie running back Rasheen Ali has been activated from injured reserve to face the Washington Commanders.

OCTOBER 12 • BALTIMORERAVENS.COM

Deemed questionable Ali (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Ali has practiced in full for the last two weeks, but the Ravens don't need to rush him back thanks to a stable backfield of Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. If he is activated from injured reserve, Ali should be set for his NFL debut.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Not activated off IR yet Ali was not activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The Ravens instead chose to call up Chris Collier from the practice squad. Despite Ali practicing in full earlier this week, the team evidently wants to give the rookie fifth-round pick another full week of practice time to ramp up in hopes of playing Week 6.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not activated off IR yet Ali was not activated off injured reserve Saturday.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice but still on IR Ali (neck) was a full participant in practice Friday but remains on injured reserve and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Ali's full participation Friday is an encouraging sign in his recovery from a neck injury, but it remains to be seen if the rookie fifth-round pick will be given the green light to make his NFL debut as Baltimore takes on an AFC North rival. The Ravens would have to officially activate Ali from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game for him to be eligible to play. Even if Ali suits up, he's unlikely to play a significant role with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill both thriving in Baltimore's backfield.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to practice Ali (neck) is slated to practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ali remains on IR, but now that he's set to return to the field, his 21-day practice window has opened up ahead of Week 5 action. Assuming no setbacks, once Ali is back on the Ravens' active roster, he'll provide the team with backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

Ravens put RB Rasheen Ali on IR, sign LB Josh Ross to active roster before opener against Chiefs

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Rasheen Ali on injured reserve and signed linebacker Josh Ross to their active roster just hours before they opened the season against the...

SEPTEMBER 5 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lands on IR Ali (neck) has been placed on IR by the Ravens.

Impact As a result, Ali will miss at least Baltimore's first four regular-season contests. To provide the team with backfield depth for Thursday night's opener against the Chiefs, John Kelly was elevated from the Ravens' practice squad to work behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 1 Ali (neck) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's season opener against the Chiefs.

Impact With Ali trending toward inactive status Thursday, the Ravens' Week 1 backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill is currently taxed. The team does, however, have the option to elevate John Kelly or Chris Collier from the practice squad to address that.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Ali (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Impact Ali will have one more chance to increase his rep count in Wednesday's practice, after which point the Ravens will have to tag him with an injury designation for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs. The rookie fifth-round pick has cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still working his way back from a stinger sustained during Baltimore's preseason opener.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

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.
