Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has been battling an ankle injury that kept him out the last two weeks, is expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.
Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, who has been dealing with a knee injury and cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who has a foot injury, are also good to play Sunday, Rapoport added. Stanley has been out since the Ravens’ 25-9 win against the Texans in Week 1. Humphrey has not played at all, making his season debut in Pittsburgh.
Baltimore has since announced Beckham, Stanley and Humphrey as active.
Baltimore will be getting Beckham, one of Lamar Jackson‘s targets, back out on the field, as well as help from Stanley in protecting the young quarterback. The Ravens also get added help on their defense, with Humphrey, as they go into this division matchup.
The Ravens and Steelers kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
