The Baltimore Ravens are expected to face divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 without their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson. But it is not all bad news for the Ravens. Their starting running back J.K. Dobbins, and veteran safety Marcus Williams have been activated off Injured Reserve and are expected to play in the game.
Dobbins went down with a knee injury in Week 6 and has been out ever since. Before the injury, the 23-year-old made four starts and 123 yards and a touchdown. In his absence, the Ravens turned to undrafted back Gus Edwards.
Williams, on the other hand, dislocated his wrist in Week 5. The 26-year-old player, who came to Baltimore on a five-year $70 million contract in the offseason, played well to start the campaign. He totaled three interceptions, five passes defended, and 33 tackles.
Despite the returns of Dobbins and Williams, the Ravens are still far from healthy. Besides Jackson, who is dealing with a thigh injury, Baltimore also has guard Kevin Zeitler (knee), linebackers Patrick Queen (thigh) and Kristian Welch (concussion), and guard Patrick Mekari (toe) listed as questionable. They also saw a number of key players land on IR, including wide receiver Rashod Bateman and corner JalynArmour-Davis.
