WILLIE SNEAD IV NEWS

Misses Wednesday's practice Snead (ankle) is not practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Snead's ankle injury caused him to sit out against the Bengals in Week 17, but the Ravens are reportedly hopeful about his chances of returning for the wild-card round. He'll have just two more opportunities to practice prior to Sunday's contest in Tennessee.

Hopeful for wild-card round Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he's hopeful Snead (ankle) will be available for Sunday's wild-card game against the Titans, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Snead missed the Week 17 win over the Bengals after being unable to practice all week. His next step will be to practice in some capacity when the Ravens take the field either Wednesday or Thursday. If Snead ends up missing a second straight game, Dez Bryant and rookie Devin Duvernay will pick up the slack at wide receiver.

Inactive Week 17 Snead (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact The 28-year-old wasn't able to practice in any capacity all week, so it's no surprise to see him sitting out despite being listed as questionable. Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay should see increased snaps with Snead sidelined Sunday.

Takes questionable tag into Week 17 Snead (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Snead wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week, but the Ravens evidently believe he has a 50-50 shot of suiting up in the regular-season finale. Since returning from a two-game absence Week 14 following a positive COVID-19 test, Snead hasn't made much of an impact in the Baltimore passing attack. Over his first three games back in action, Snead has drawn eight targets, turning them into five receptions for 53 yards and no touchdowns.

Misses another practice Snead (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Back-to-back absences set the stage for Friday's practice to be pivotal with regard to Snead's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals. If he's out or limited this weekend, Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay would be candidates for increased snaps.

Misses Wednesday's practice Snead (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Snead picked up an ankle injury during last weekend's win over the Giants, finishing the day with two receptions for 24 yards. If the veteran wideout is unable to suit up at Cincinnati in Week 17, Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay would both be candidates for increased roles.

Hurts ankle Sunday Snead (ankle) caught both targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Impact Snead only played 12 snaps, which is likely tied to the ankle injury he picked up during Sunday's win, according to Aaron Kasinitz of PennLive.com. His practice status this week should provide a better indication of whether he'll play in the season finale versus Cincinnati. Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay could both see increased reps if Snead sits out.

No help needed for Ravens, who earn playoff spot with win

No catches Sunday Snead did not catch his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

Impact Snead played 65 percent of the snaps but drew just one target, marking a season-low. He averaged more than 4.0 targets per game prior to Sunday, so he figures to be more involved in Week 16 provided that it's not another blowout scenario the way it was in Week 15.

Off COVID-19 list The Ravens activated Snead (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Impact Snead tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 29 and missed the Ravens' last two games as a result, which allowed Devin Duvernay, Dez Bryant (when available) and Miles Boykin to earn more snaps. Now that Snead is back in the fold, he likely will settle back into his No. 2 WR role behind Marquise Brown when the team next takes the field Monday at Cleveland.

Not activated for Tuesday's game The Ravens don't plan to activate Snead (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Though Baltimore will get several reinforcements from the reserve/COVID-19 list Week 13, Snead is one of five players that will remain unavailable for a second straight game. According to Hensley, Snead, tight end Mark Andrews and linebacker Matt Judon are all recovering well since testing positive for COVID-19, and the Ravens are tentatively planning on having all three starters back in the lineup for a Week 14 matchup with the Browns on Dec. 14. While Snead is out for Tuesday's contest, look for Devin Duvernay and Dez Bryant to serve as the primary options alongside Marquise Brown in three-wide sets.

Shifts to COVID list The Ravens placed Snead (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Snead joins the ranks of players currently on the COVID-19 list for Baltimore, alongside offensive cornerstones like Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram. He tested positive for COVID on Sunday and is thus ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Pittsburgh, assuming such a matchup still occurs as scheduled.

Gets positive COVID-19 diagnosis Snead tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Snead is the most recent Raven to suffer such a fate, ruling him out for Tuesday's game at Pittsburgh. Assuming that contest is played, Baltimore's receiving corps has been whittled down to Marquise Brown, Devin Duvernay, Dez Bryant, Miles Boykin and James Proche.

Stays busy Sunday Snead had three catches for 23 yards on seven targets against the Titans.

Impact Snead's production was pedestrian Sunday, but his target volume was notable. Since the bye, Snead has had seven targets in three of four games, averaging 4.3 catches for 57.5 yards per game in that span. He is second on the team in targets behind only Mark Andrews over that period. Snead will face the Steelers on Thursday.

Scores twice in loss to Pats Snead had five receptions (seven targets) for 64 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-17 loss to New England.

Impact Hollywood Brown was removed from the gameplan by shutdown corner J.C. Jackson, so Lamar Jackson had to turn to Snead to attack the perimeter. The traditional slot man actually grabbed both of his touchdowns working closer to the sidelines. Snead has quietly been putting up useful fantasy numbers of late, racking up 14 receptions for 207 yards and two scores over his last two contests. Those performances have come against some top-tier defenses, which may explain why Jackson has gone Snead's way as opposed to trying to take the top off those secondaries with Brown's elite speed. Another disciplined defensive unit in the Tennessee Titans is on tap in Week 11, so perhaps this trend could continue.
