Ravens announce inactives for Week 17 matchup vs. Rams
The Baltimore Ravens are set to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a high-stakes Week 17 matchup. Baltimore needs a win if they want to have a realistic shot at making the playoffs, and they’ll have to do so against a talented Los Angeles team.
Ahead of the contest, the Ravens released their inactive players list, which was once again headlined by quarterback Lamar Jackson. The quarterback was seen limping noticeably in his return to the practice field on Wednesday and didn’t practice after that.

The Baltimore defense is going to have its hands full with the Rams offense, and it’s going to be a lot tougher without outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and Pernell McPhee, as well as cornerback Anthony Averett. The good news is that the defense will get back a lot of their players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list who were out last week so the pass rush should be able to handle the loss of Oweh. wide receivers James Proche II and Miles Boykin and guard Ben Powers round out the list for the Ravens.

Fullback Patrick Ricard is active today, which will help out the running game for Baltimore. With Ricard and tight end Nick Boyle both playing, the Ravens’ offense might be able to make some plays and keep up with the high-powered Los Angeles Rams offense.
