ruled out CBs Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver), OT Chris Hubbard (ankle) and LB Mack Wilson (knee) for Sunday’s game against the Ravens. Cleveland listed center JC Tretter (knee surgery Aug. 13) and nickelback M.J. Stewart (hamstring) as questionable.

I really hope Greedy doesn’t turn out to be one of those guys

I see Geno Atkins is out for Cincy this week .. short rest, he may miss our game too

Said it before , say it again.. Our FO has a habit of drafting glass at the DB spot.. I would be surprised if Ward or Greedy played 11 or so games a year.. Felt that way about Delpit coming out of College.

I hope he is out, he has been creating havoc inside for nearly a decade...I wish so bad we were playing the Bengals in week 1...they are decimated with injuries as well.

Yeah it is really sad, sadly Greedy and Denzel are rather slight of build and frail...Delpit unfortunately has a very tough recovery ahead of him...I'm a big fan of Karl Joseph, and I wanted him in FA...And I warned everyone you need to have good-very good insurance behind him, as he's likely to get injured as well....Doesn't bode well for this season.

So when Balti goes out 4 wide...We have Denzel, Terrence Mitchell, Thomas (yuck) and who? if MJ Stewart is out too? Man Baltimore will take advantage of this too, as smart teams fine their favorable matchups.

Stewart is questionable

Baltimore used 4+ WRs on only 3 snaps all of last season, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. link

As run/TE heavy as they were, I expected the number to be low, but not that low.

I am interested in seeing who all is active on Sunday. I wouldn't be overly surprised if AJ Green/Robert Jackson uses one of the two games he can get called up from the practice squad without going to the active roster.

I would wonder if there would be an influx to those numbers with how decimated our secondary is...

I also wonder if those numbers are skewed due to the fact of sending a TE out wide...which in theory may be 4 wide but only 3 WRS and TE outside...not how sure that is calculated...But if I were Baltimore I would def attack that secondary...And though Baltimore WR core is far from great, they due have some young mismatch WRs that can be dangerous (Hollywood Brown and Duvernay have great speed, Snead is sneaky, Boykin has that long length) I'm just hoping we able to contain them.

Pass rush and qb contain going to be huge this game

Looking through Baltimore's receivers did make me think about it some more. I still think Harbaugh is too much of a use the run to setup the pass guy to go 4 wide too often. Here's an article from this May with Harbaugh talking about Lamar's next step being improving his ability to take advantage of one on one matchups outside when opponents have 8 in the box. link

I think, especially with the shortened off-season, they'll stick pretty close to their "standard" identity. Throw in their struggles against Tennessee once they fell behind and had to pass, and I find it harder to see them going super pass heavy in the tone setting season opener.

It does feel like a thought worth considering, though.

Another interesting angle I stumbled upon is the fact that Sendejo actually played some slot corner for the Vikings last season. link

We could see some of Sendejo at nickel/dime with Redwine at FS. I'm curious to see how Redwine has developed.

usually when guys are out Sunday, they don’t play Thursday and the team uses the mini bye to get them back. Hopefully that’s the case with Cincy

Getting to him withe ball in his hand a couple times will help. The media worship is ongoing for the Ratters. Hurt the run, contain, and finish blitz quickly. Our D needs to stomp the showboat out of them early on. They can be rattled, but gotta go to work AND put up some points.

I think Redwine has a lot to prove,

I think Redwine either needs to start playing like a football player or

It's possible he can make plays, so he better make some, because it's really a plays better or find someone else quick situation.

Is Higgins going to play?
ohhhh are we going to get to see Higgins play???

Yeah, Yeah, superstars superstars...

But, Is Higgins going to play???
Huh!
Huh!

Not if the ghost of Freddy Kitchens has anything to do with it.

Wish I could be out there today w/ my brothers. But best believe I’m doing everything in my power to make a comeback Folded hands. The time is here!!!!! Face with look of triumphFace with look of triumphFace with look of triumph #5ive1 #LetsssGoooo

Such is the life for us

Hopefully he can bounce back next year but it will be tough to do so seeing that it will basi8be his rookie season still

Is cm3 still out there

yes

Earl Thomas still available?

Well, that’s good

Isn't that kind of weak?

A bruise?

They were making it sound like he was going to need a scooter to get him home.

If it is a bone bruise it is a little more serious.

Those things hurt like hell, I’ve had them.

exactly... those can be pretty painful... better than a break or god forbid torn ligament.

Same here. I had one as a goalie, and I was on IR (beer league hockey, lol) for almost a month. Keep in mind, it was only a couple years prior I was in college and playing in games with a broken finger.

j/c...

Hopefully we get some more good news with Phillips and Njoku
