BALTIMORE โ In an exciting turn of events for Ravens fans, wide receiver Rashod Bateman was cleared to play in Saturdayโs matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite earlier concerns about his health due to a foot injury. Bateman was unable to participate in Thursdayโs practice, leading to his questionable status ahead of the game.
The Ravensโ receiving corps is currently facing challenges with depth, particularly behind standout rookie Zay Flowers. Nelson Agholor was sidelined due to a concussion, and Baltimore made the decision to waive receiver Diontae Johnson earlier this week after his time with the team proved to be underwhelming, including a one-game suspension during his tenure.
Bateman, who has delivered a strong performance this season, boasts a total of 38 receptions for a career-best 654 yards, along with seven touchdowns. He made headlines last weekend by scoring twice against the New York Giants, showcasing his ability to be a critical player in the Ravensโ offensive lineup.
