Returns for TNF Watkins (thigh) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.
Impact Watkins is back for his first game action since Week 5, one week before 2021 first-rounder Rashod Bateman made his NFL debut. With the rookie having caught 12 of his 20 targets for 161 yards through three games, Watkins may not return to quite the same role he saw prior to his injury, in which he averaged 58.8 snaps and 7.3 targets over the first four weeks of this season. However, the return of the 28-year-old helps solidify a Baltimore wideout corps that also includes Marquise Brown -- 46 catches for 682 yards and six TDs in eight games -- while Watkins should see steady snaps in the process, health permitting.

Listed as questionable Watkins (thigh) was upgraded to full practice participant Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Miami, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The upgrade hints at a return after Watkins was listed as LP in four straight practice between last week and this. He last played Week 5, one week before first-round pick Rashod Bateman made his NFL debut. With the rookie catching 12 of 20 targets for 161 yards through three games, Watkins isn't likely to return to the same role in which he averaged 58.8 snaps and 7.3 targets over the first four weeks of this season. Final words on Watkins' availability may have to wait until Thursday evening when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 ET kickoff.

Ravens can keep control of AFC North with win over Miami
The previous time Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson came back to play in his native South Florida, he put on an absolute showNOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Listed as limited again Baltimore listed Watkins (thigh) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
Impact Because of the quick turnaround for Thursday's game in Miami, the Ravens haven't held traditional practices Monday and Tuesday, but if they had, Watkins wouldn't have been able to take full reps. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported over the weekend that the Ravens are still hopeful that Watkins will put an end to his three-game absence Thursday, but the wideout may need to be listed as a full participant Wednesday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into the Week 10 contest.

AFC North-leading Ravens have overcome a lot
The Baltimore Ravens were beset by injury problems before the season began, but they have persevered well enough that they lead the AFC North after eight gamesNOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Listed as limited on practice estimate Watkins (thigh) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
Impact Mike Garafolo of NFL Network previously noted that Watkins was expected to play in Sunday's overtime win over the Vikings, but the wideout's thigh didn't feel right in the morning, and the Ravens held him out with this week's short turnaround in mind in the hope that he'll be available for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

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.

Inactive Sunday Watkins (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Watkins, who hasn't played since Week 5, will thus target a potential return to action this coming Thursday against the Dolphins. In his absence, Rashod Bateman, Marquise Brown, Devin Duvernay will head the Ravens' Week WR 9 corps, with James Proche, Miles Boykin and Tylan Wallace also on hand.

Game-time decision for Week 9 Watkins (thigh) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rapoport suggests that Watkins has a good shot to suit up Sunday, while also noting that fellow wideout Rashod Bateman (groin) is expected to play. If both players are active, it would mark the first time that Watkins, Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman would all be available together for a regular-season contest. Confirmation of Watkins' Week 9 status will arrive once the Ravens' inactives are released in advance of the team's 1:00 ET kickoff versus Minnesota.

Listed as questionable for Week 9 Watkins (thigh) is
Impact Watkins, who hasn't played since Week 5, didn't practice Wednesday, but back-to-back limited sessions have him trending in the right direction as Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff approaches. Per coach John Harbaugh, Watkins looked good at practice Friday and "has a chance" to play Sunday, but at this stage the wideout isn't a lock to return this weekend, with the Ravens on a short week leading up to next Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in return to practice Watkins (hamstring/thigh) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Impact This marks the wideout's first practice since Week 5, so there's a a solid chance he'll be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. If Watkins can play this weekend, it would be the first time that he, Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman would all be available together for a regular-season contest.

Resumes practicing Watkins (hamstring/thigh) returned to practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Watkins hadn't practiced since injuring his hamstring Week 5, so this is a step in the right direction for the wideout in advance of Sunday's game against the Vikings. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will reveal Watkins' official participation level, but his return to the field Thursday suggests that he has a chance to suit up this weekend.
NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Still not practicing Watkins (hamstring/thigh) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Impact Watkins hasn't practiced since exiting the team's Week 5 win over the Colts, so it's concerning that he's still sidelined even after the team's bye. If Watkins remains out this weekend against the Vikings, Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay would once again be in line to head Baltimore's wideout corps in Week 9.
