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.

While they have gone out and made some big moves, like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-derrick-henrys-2-year-16-million-contract-with-ravens">signing</a> running back Derrick Henry, the front office is also looking to keep their own guys in town, as evidenced by their latest move with wide receiver Rashod Bateman.</p><p>Baltimore selected Bateman with the 27th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he largely has not panned out yet, as he’s struggled with injuries and inconsistent production on the field. The Ravens had a decision to make on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal soon, but they have managed to make that irrelevant by signing Bateman to an <a href="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1783186653059707272" rel="noopener">extension</a> that will keep him with the team through the 2026 campaign.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Batman 𝘌𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 🦇</p><p>We have extended <a href="https://twitter.com/R_bateman2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@R_bateman2</a> through 2026❕ <a href="https://t.co/Xql3SCWkAs">pic.twitter.com/Xql3SCWkAs</a></p><p>— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1783186653059707272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Ravens giving Rashod Bateman more time to become a consistent producer</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rashod-Bateman-of-the-Ravens.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Ravens had high hopes for Bateman, and while he’s shown some promise, he’s struggled to find a consistent role on the team. It seemed like he was set to become the team’s number one wideout, but injuries limited him to just six games in 2022, and then the team went out and drafted Zay Flowers with the 22nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, which led to Bateman taking a backseat to him.</p><p>Picking up Bateman’s $14.435 million fifth-year option on his rookie deal was never going to happen, and this extension signals that even Bateman realizes that was the case. While the terms of this deal aren’t known yet, it’s clear it will come in at a far lower price than that, which is great for the Ravens, who get to keep the talented former first-round pick without having to worry about whether or not they made the right decision in regards to his fifth-year option.</p><p>This extension will make that option disappear, and chances are Bateman will have two extra years tacked onto his current deal, which will see him get a base salary of $2.378 million. That number will increase in 2025 and 2026, but assuming Bateman can find his way with the team, that would be a price well worth paying.</p><p>Bateman is a big-play threat who has put together some explosive highlights when he’s been on the field. His numbers in 2023 leave a lot to be desired (32 REC, 367 YDS, 1 TD), but again, his role with the team was murky with the addition of Flowers. With this extension, the Ravens are indicating that they want to give Bateman a fair shot to emerge alongside Flowers in their wide receiver room.</p><p>More will be known about Bateman’s standing with Baltimore once the money involved with this deal comes out, but Jackson needs all the help he can on offense, so keeping a wide receiver he has a good rapport with in town isn’t exactly a bad idea. Now, it will be on Bateman to take some strides forward and begin to realize the potential the Ravens saw when they drafted him, or else his time with the team could come to an end far sooner than initially expected.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bateman didn’t have the season that he was hoping for this year after spending most of the past two years injured. He was a first round <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-miami-poaches-ravens-associate-head-coach-new-dc" rel="noopener">pick for the Ravens</a> when he came into the league a few years ago, and he is hoping to have a bigger impact in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-green-bay-offered-zach-orr-taking-ravens-dc-job" rel="noopener">Baltimore in the future</a>.</p><p>In his first two seasons with the Ravens, Rashod Bateman only played in 19 games. He was able to play in 16 games this past season, and yet his numbers didn’t see a big increase. He racked up 515 yards in his first season, and in four more games this season, he only picked up 367 yards and one touchdown. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wants him to have a bigger role.</p><p>“I want Bate to flourish and make a bunch of plays, and he’s going to do that, and I think he’ll be a <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/john-harbaugh-expects-rashod-bateman-to-be-a-bigger-part-of-it-next-season" rel="noopener">bigger part of it</a> next year, just by the fact that he was healthy all year this year [and] had a chance to establish himself that way, and he’ll be starting,” John Harbaugh said, according to an article from <i>NBC Sports</i>. “He’ll be playing all those snaps, and he’ll rise to the occasion.”</p><p>After recovering from injuries, it isn’t a big surprise that Bateman didn’t have a big season in 2023. While it was technically his third season in the league, it still feels like Bateman is a rookie because of his lack of play. If he can stay healthy and continue to play each week consistently, he should get more acclimated to life in the NFL, and he should start to have more of an impact. He is clearly a very talented receiver, and his time to shine will come in Baltimore.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Alongside them on the sidelines were Ronnie Staley, Odafe Oweh, David Ojabo and Marlon Humphrey.</p><p>Beckham is currently dealing with an ankle injury that held him out of the Ravens’ Week 3 loss to the Colts. The wide receiver hasn’t been able to practice this week after suffering his injury. While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-baltimore-gets-mixed-bag-of-injury-updates-on-odell-beckham-jr-justice-hill" rel="noopener">Beckham is a veteran</a> with plenty of experience, it’d be a bit surprising to see him on the field after missing a week of practice.</p><p>Bateman was able to play against the Colts, but he caught just one pass for three yards.

They rank fourth and fifth on the team in receiving yards with 66 and 59 respectfully. Neither player has caught a touchdown pass yet.</p><p>The Ravens will be facing off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 with AFC North positioning on the line. While Baltimore would like to have their fully arsenal on offense available, Beckham and Bateman’s lack of practice could keep them on the sidelines.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bateman has been out for last two,” ESPN Ravens insider Jamison Hensley <a href="https://twitter.com/jamisonhensley/status/1696242644563685751?s=20" rel="noopener">reported Monday</a>. “Last week, John Harbaugh said Andrews is ‘working through’ something but ‘nothing serious.’”</p><p>These Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman injury updates are good news for Ravens fans as it sounds like both issues are relatively minor, and the pair of pass-catchers should be ready to go in Week 1.</p><p>Andrews was the team’s leading pass-catcher last season, with 73 catches for 847 yards and five touchdowns.

Dobbins and Rashod Bateman showing positive signs Friday. Bateman <a href="https://twitter.com/jamisonhensley/status/1692593096754671843?s=20" rel="noopener">returned to practice</a> after missing two days this week, and Dobbins is <a href="https://twitter.com/jamisonhensley/status/1692599493508645199" rel="noopener">finally participating</a> in full team drills, according to ESPN’s Jameson Hensley.</p><p>J.K. Dobbins has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-hc-john-harbaugh-expects-jk-dobbins-at-training-camp-soon-but-theres-a-catch" rel="noopener">a major question mark</a> for much of the summer. He spent most of training camp on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list, rehabbing knee issues that have plagued him for two years now. However, speculation circled that Dobbins’ PUP status was not only a matter of health. Some believed Dobbins was disgruntled by his contract situation and planned to hold out until he received an extension.</p><p>However, those concerns now seem trivial. The team activated Dobbins from the PUP list Monday. Ravens fans should be thrilled that Dobbins is back with the team and preparing for the season. He will be a key part of Baltimore’s 2023 plans.</p><p>The Ravens finally addressed their future plans and current standing in the NFL this offseason. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-odell-beckham-jr-baltimore-players-react-to-lamar-jackson-contract-extension" rel="noopener">extended Lamar Jackson</a> to a huge contract, fully committing to him as their guy for the next five seasons. That move was an indication they are in win-now mode.</p><p>Then, they made several moves to get Jackson as much help as possible. That included signing veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr., who, by the way, was absent for his second consecutive practice Friday. The Ravens also drafted WR Zay Flowers in the first round this year, and Rashod Bateman was also a former first-round pick, so it’s critical that he’s healthy this season as well.</p><p>Injuries unfortunately derailed the Ravens’ last two seasons, with Jackson playing just 12 games in each. Dobbins missed all of 2021 and a big chunk of 2022, as did second-string RB Gus Edwards. Baltimore is all in on Lamar Jackson and this current group; and it’s time to start seeing some results. This is the former MVP’s sixth NFL season, and the Ravens’ haven’t won a playoff game since 2020.</p><p>Dobbins’ health and production will be huge for the Ravens’ offense and it will ease the pressure for Jackson. The Ravens can’t continue to ask Jackson to carry the entire offense.</p><p>They will fight for a playoff spot in a loaded AFC and a tough division. In the AFC North, the Cincinnati Bengals are essentially playoff locks. The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by Mike Tomlin and a stacked defense are always tough to beat.

He was chosen in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. While his first two years in the league were a bit challenging due to injuries, Bateman is gearing up for an impactful 2023 season. In this article, we’ll explore his potential in fantasy football for the upcoming season. We’ll also take a closer look at his performance in 2022, compare him to other players in his position, and consider how the Baltimore Ravens’ overall performance might influence his fantasy value.</p><h2><b>Bateman’s Journey So Far</b></h2><p>Rashod Bateman entered the NFL scene from the University of Minnesota with high hopes in 2021. Many believed he had the potential to become a shining star among wide receivers in the league. However, his path hasn’t been smooth at all. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-hit-with-season-ending-rashod-bateman-injury-blow" rel="noopener">Injuries affected his performance</a> over the past two seasons. In fact, he has played a total of just 19 games in 2021 and 2022. Now, with the addition of players like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-odell-beckham-jr-zay-flowers" rel="noopener">Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr</a> to the Ravens, Bateman’s fantasy status will take a hit. As we look ahead to 2023, fantasy team managers are left wondering how to approach Bateman this season.</p><h2><b>Bateman’s 2022 Struggles with Injuries</b></h2><p><a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/player/stats/_/id/4360939/rashod-bateman" rel="noopener">In the previous season</a>, Bateman managed to achieve an average of 75 yards per game during the initial three games of the year. However, he suffered an injury in Week 4. He was absent from play for a couple of games following the injury, and even though he tried to return for the subsequent two games, he eventually opted for surgery. This was upon realizing that his injured foot was severely hampering his performance on the field. Having undergone Lisfranc foot surgery last November, the wide receiver continued to experience discomfort as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-training-camp" rel="noopener">training camp commenced</a>. The 23-year-old received a cortisone shot in his foot earlier this offseason, causing him to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as training camp began. This led to him missing a total of 12 practice sessions.</p><p>Without a doubt, his Lisfranc injury brings about more worries as the season is right around the corner. This is especially given recent updates. Foot injuries can pose problems for wide receivers due to the risk of re-injury. Moreover, among the 19 most common injuries for wide receivers, foot sprains result in a significant decrease in fantasy production over a three-game period following the injury. This suggests that the injury’s effects can persist and hinder a player’s performance after their return. Although Bateman underwent surgery to address the issue during the offseason, there are indications that his surgically repaired foot is still causing discomfort as he plays for the Ravens.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Nah man like I need Rashod Bateman healthy for 17 games <a href="https://t.co/M7mSXQ1DSH">pic.twitter.com/M7mSXQ1DSH</a></p><p>— RAMEY (@HoodieRamey) <a href="https://twitter.com/HoodieRamey/status/1619067493724852225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>How He Compares</b></h2><p>Currently, we see Rashod Bateman holding the WR60 position for 2023. While he has the potential to contribute consistently to fantasy teams, he’s generally seen as a WR4 with mixed potential. When we consider the competition within the Ravens’ roster, Bateman is competing for targets alongside players like Beckham, Flowers, and TE Mark Andrews. However, there’s room for Bateman to become the primary receiver for the team. This is especially if he can stay healthy and build a strong connection with quarterback Lamar Jackson.</p><h2><b>Team Outlook</b></h2><p>The Baltimore Ravens are expected to be strong contenders in the 2023 season. They have a strong defense and a dynamic offense led by Jackson. However, the team’s preference for a run-heavy offensive approach could impact Bateman’s fantasy value. Additionally, Bateman will need to vie with other talented receivers on the team for passes. Nonetheless, if Bateman can establish himself as a reliable target for Jackson, he could become a valuable asset for fantasy football players.</p><p>Alternatively, we also see the Ravens perhaps veering away from leaning heavily on a run-focused strategy. Negotiations between the Ravens’ management and Lamar Jackson resulted in a new contract for Jackson before the season began. The team’s priority likely lies in keeping Jackson healthy and productive. Sure, the vulnerability of mobile quarterbacks to injuries can be debated. However, their style of play exposes them to more hits. These hits, whether they lead directly to injuries or accumulate over time, raise the risk. Therefore, the Ravens might shift towards a more pass-oriented approach and reduce Jackson’s designed running plays. If this hunch of ours proves to be accurate, then receivers like Bateman could stand to benefit.</p><h2><b>2023 Fantasy Outlook</b></h2><p>The glimpses of brilliance that Bateman displayed before his foot injury last year indicate that he’s worth considering as a high-potential backup receiver with promising upside. Bateman showcased his speed on deep throws and catch-and-run plays. He even maintained an average of 19.0 yards per catch throughout the season and an impressive 28.3 yards per catch in his first three games. However, concerns persist about his consistency from one week to another and whether he’ll receive enough opportunities to become a reliable starting wide receiver. Perhaps this situation could change if his teammates encounter injuries. For now, Bateman is best suited as a flex option with a moderate floor but a significant ceiling. In deeper leagues, prioritizing him could be a wise choice. In standard redraft leagues, it’s a good idea to start considering him around the 10th round.</p><p>Bateman’s classification as a high-risk, high-reward wide receiver reflects the overall landscape. Right now, everyone carries a certain level of risk at his current ADP of 14.03. He offers decent value and the potential to elevate weekly lineups when he’s in good health. If your team has a strong focus on running backs, keep in mind that Bateman might not be the ideal choice for your third wide receiver spot. This is due to the uncertainty surrounding his availability throughout the season. He’s a player who could be overshadowed by Flowers or OBJ if he can’t maintain consistent form.</p><h2><b>Looking Ahead</b></h2><p>As we look ahead to the 2023 NFL season, Rashod Bateman possesses all the qualities of a breakout star. However, his injury history and the competition for passes on the team are genuine concerns for fantasy team owners. Yes, he’s currently seen as a WR4 with mixed potential., Still, his innate talent could lead him to become the Ravens’ top receiver and a valuable addition to fantasy teams. As the Ravens aim for a coveted playoff spot in the upcoming season, Bateman’s performance will undeniably play a pivotal role in their journey.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is huge news for the Ravens, as he looks to be fully recovered from his foot injury and <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1689330302534012928?s=20" rel="noopener">ready to acclimate to</a> Todd Monken’s new offense, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>Rashod Bateman returns to a Ravens offense <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-odell-beckham-jr-touchdown-scrimmage" rel="noopener">that looks a lot different</a> than what it did last year. When Bateman was on the field last year, he was Lamar Jackson’s favorite target. For the 2023 NFL season, this might not be the case given all of the Ravens new additions.</p><p>The Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr and drafted Zay Flowers during this offseason in order to bolster their passing attack. Not to mention, Monken is said to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-loving-baltimores-offense-under-oc-todd-monken" rel="noopener">installing a much more pass-friendly</a> system as the Ravens new offensive coordinator. All of this has led Jackson to believe that Baltimore is going to have a dynamic passing game this season.</p><p>This would certainly be a change of pace in Baltimore after the first few seasons with Jackson at the helm. It is obvious how good Jackson is with the ball in his hands and in open space, but if the Ravens become a lethal passing unit, they will suddenly become possibly the most feared offense in the NFL.</p><p>For now, stay tuned into Ravens training camp in regards to any more updates on Rashod Bateman. Baltimore will hope that it isn’t long before he feels comfortable in this new system.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bateman injured his groin during training camp before the 2021 season and ended up undergoing foot surgery after an injury last year.</p><p>There’s no surprise here, though, as Rashod Bateman is still working to get back to 100 percent before the 2023 season gets underway. The last thing the Ravens want is for Bateman to rush back into things and end up tweaking something that will result in more missed time. It’s certainly best to take things slow and ease Bateman back into action.</p><p>Before getting injured last season, Bateman racked up 285 yards and two touchdowns on 15 receptions. Last season, the Ravens fell in the wildcard round of the playoffs, but perhaps if everyone was healthy, it could’ve been a different story.</p><p>That’s the goal this season: keep everybody healthy. Lamar Jackson has solidified himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-might-have-to-beat-saints-himself-amid-latest-injury-report" rel="noopener">Jackson and all the weapons</a> around him stay healthy, the Ravens will have one of the best offenses in the entire NFL.</p><p>Training camp starts on Tuesday for the Ravens, and the start of the regular season is slowly approaching as their first game is on September 10th, against the Houston Texans. Bateman is expected to slowly work back into the swing of things throughout the summer, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-rashod-bateman-practice" rel="noopener">the Ravens are hoping</a> to have him ready to go when week one rolls around in September.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
