But his yardage total is OK and he has seven receiving touchdowns.</p><p>Bateman is one of several Ravens who are questionable for the key AFC North game against the Steelers. Harbaugh <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/injury-report-ravens-steelers-rashod-bateman-foot-2024" rel="noopener">remained fairly confident</a>, according to baltimoreravens.com.</p><p>“We’ll be in good shape and be ready to roll on (Saturday),” Harbaugh said.</p><p>Bateman has been an important weapon for the Ravens, leading the NFL in separation percentage (75.1), according to Pro Football Focus via baltimoreravens.com. Also, his 17.2 yards-per-catch average is among the league leaders. Bateman’s four touchdowns on deep targets (20-plus yards) are tied for second most in the NFL.</p><p>A healthy Ravens team is no bargain for the rest of the AFC, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.</p><p>“I think folks are concerned about the Ravens, especially if they win Saturday against the Steelers and can chase them down for the division title,” Graziano wrote. “He might be trailing Josh Allen in the MVP race, but Lamar Jackson is playing the best football of his career this season. And some of the people I talk to think the Baltimore defense has the ability to play better than it has shown. If they’re right — and if Derrick Henry is still fresh and running hard once the postseason begins — I don’t think anyone’s going to want to play Baltimore, even if they don’t look as dominant as they did this time last year.”</p><h2><b>It’s a rivalry and that matters</b></h2><p>The Ravens know the Steelers won’t be one of the teams shying away as this is a tough rivalry. Harbaugh said <a href="https://www.steelers.com/news/ravens-are-talking-about-steelers-d-week-11" rel="noopener">it’s a challenge</a>, according to steelers.com.</p><p>“We’re heading into the challenge this Saturday against Pittsburgh,” said Harbaugh. “A very important game for a lot of reasons, and we’re going to need to be at our very best. They’re an excellent football team. We’re ready for the challenge.”</p><p>The short week plays a role, too, Harbaugh said.</p><p>“It’s a challenge for both teams,” he said. “We’re both playing on the same deal. We both played Sunday, and we’re playing each other on Saturday, so that’s just it. You adjust the schedule. It’s a little shorter game-planning type of an operation than you would have, but we play each other enough where I don’t think that’s a problem for either team.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Lamar Jackson and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-justin-tucker-new-nfl-record-vs-eagles">the Ravens offense</a> has struggled against the Eagles, and Justin Tucker’s two missed field goals and missed extra point loom large.</p><p>Bateman has been a useful wide receiver for Jackson, but the Eagles were the biggest test to this point in the season, and the Ravens have struggled to perform as they have in prior games.</p><p>When it comes to receiving yards, Bateman was second on the team coming into Sunday’s game against the Eagles. He <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/bal/baltimore-ravens" rel="noopener">had 574 yards</a> on 35 receptions with five touchdowns, while Zay Flowers was leading the team with 789 receiving yards on 57 receptions, with four of them being touchdowns, according to ESPN. If Bateman’s knee injury is serious and keeps him out of games moving forward, players like Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are going to have to step up to fill that void. Of course, Jackson and Derrick Henry’s rushing abilities are what Baltimore’s offense is predominantly built on.</p><h2><b>How can Ravens move forward from loss to Eagles?</b></h2><p>It is unfortunate because the Eagles are a potential Super Bowl Super Bowl opponent, and this was a measuring stick game for the Ravens, but Baltimore still has a chance to secure a playoff spot and be one of the contenders to play in February.</p><p>The Ravens will regroup with a bye, and then they will play four games before the playoffs. The first of four games is on the road against the New York Giants, which should be perceived as the easiest. Then it will be a chance at revenge against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. The final two games are against the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns. At 8-5 overall, the Ravens could use all four of the remaining games on their schedule ahead of the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So, Lamar Jackson will be throwing to guys like Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Nelson Agholor for the whole of this season. However, one of these elite wide receivers has not been looking good since the NFL Preseason started. John Harbaugh had to ease the mind of the Ravens faithful when discussing Rashod Bateman’s injury.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-baltimore-locks-up-rashod-bateman-contract-extension-2026-campaign">Rashod Bateman is currently recovering f</a>rom an injury which is preventing him from being fielded in these NFL Preseason games. The Ravens have not disclosed what type of ailment Lamar Jackson’s weapon is currently suffering but it sounds like he won’t be gone for long in the Ravens system. The Ravens’ head honcho outlined that a possible return<a href="https://x.com/jamisonhensley/status/1822750211346764006" rel="noopener"> could be looming</a>, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.</p><p>“We expect ‘Bate back really soon,” John Harbaugh declared.</p><h2><b>Ravens HC extremely confident in Bateman despite injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Rashod-Bateman.jpg"><figcaption>© Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>There is no certainty whether he would be played in the NFL Preseason. Another big uncertainty before Week 1 will also be<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-vote-of-confidence-john-harbaugh"> how the new Ravens schematics stack up</a> to the defenses across the league. But, one thing is for sure. Harbaugh knows that despite Bateman’s injury, he will be able to ball out for them in the coming season</p><p>“Rashod’s been working to make plays. To see him come out and make those catches, those are great catches. Traffic catches, one catch he plucked off the ground there. I was excited, everybody was fired up about it. That’s what we expect from Rashod Bateman. He’s expected to be a top receiver in the league for us. That’s what we’re planning on,” he noted.</p><p>This is not the first time that Harbaugh made a big statement about one of the Ravens. Just a few weeks back, he claimed that Lamar Jackson will be on a path to being the greatest quarterback ever if they win the Super Bowl. But, this goal for Bateman looks to be more attainable than the one for Jackson.</p><p>Bateman has not quite gotten back to his production during his rookie season. But, the Ravens wide receiver has made solid progress in getting back into that form. He notched 367 receiving yards on 32 receptions during the 2023 season. This is an 82-yard improvement compared to his second-year production. If all goes well and Bateman’s injury does not bother him too much, he could be on track for a second 500-yard season in his career. Will it all happen?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
