00:00Where are the Ravens injury-wise right now?
00:03They're a lot better than they were at the beginning of the season
00:07that led to that, you know, one and five start, not five and one.
00:14And so maybe that accounts a bit for the wins that they've had.
00:19But that's just looking at short-term injuries, though.
00:22You know, they got Tavis Robinson back,
00:24which made a difference.
00:25Safety guard Darius Washington.
00:27Rashad Bateman has a high ankle sprain.
00:29And he should be back soon.
00:30But they are missing Nandi Matabike, who was out with a neck injury.
00:34And that impact, like, we will never know how bad it was.
00:38But it does seem like the pass rush just disappeared as soon as he left.
00:44He definitely pulled a lot of double teams.
00:47So I guess they're just adjusting without him.
00:48But that was a huge one.
00:50And, you know, Justice Hill is out with a neck injury as well.
00:52Don't know when he'll be back.
00:54That makes a difference.
00:55So there are some long-term injuries that have had an effect.
00:57But overall, they're a lot healthier than a lot of these teams.
01:00So another thing that they can't really use as an excuse,
01:04I guess people say Lamar's been, like, hurt.
01:07But then his last missed practice day was NIR, so not injury-related.
01:12So don't really know on that one, which is probably the most important.
01:16Okay, wait.
01:17So let's get into this.
01:19So Lamar Jackson obviously has been hurt.
01:21He can't run.
01:21But he looked a little bit better on Sunday.
01:23But then again, they were playing Cincinnati, so who knows.
01:27But, all right, so he missed practice this week with a non-injury-related absence.
01:32Is that odd for – does he usually get time off during the week?
01:36Is this a new thing?
01:37What's going on with that?
01:39Absolutely a new thing.
01:41He has never, that I've been here, gotten days off during game weeks.
01:46I mean, he's famously not usually in attendance for OTAs.
01:51But during the week, I don't know how many QB1s have really earned an off day during the week
02:00just because they're the most important guy on the team and everyone else needs them to get better.
02:05Right.
02:06But, you know, it was injury-related at first.
02:09We were kind of joking what was going to be the next injury designation
02:13because it seemed like he was working his way through every lower body one.
02:17But then, like reports said, the whole time he was icing his hamstring through every game.
02:23So don't really know what's going on there.
02:26But then, you know, so he's missing all these weeks.
02:30And two weeks ago now, he was out with an ankle or a foot injury because he said he got stepped on.
02:36But then he said in his press conference, he was like, well, I wasn't supposed to practice Wednesday anyway.
02:41But I did.
02:42And then I got my foot stepped on.
02:44So then I took off Thursday.
02:47So that was our first hint that, like, maybe these aren't just injury-related.
02:51And then last week, you know, I'm an injury designation.
02:54So all of a sudden, he gets off days.
02:56But he's not playing up to, like, off-day caliber, if you know what I mean.
03:06You're not playing on either way.
