2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football: Rashod Bateman, Lamar Jackson Both Limited Wednesday
Both Ravens skill-position cornerstones are managing injuries heading into their Week 7 matchup with Cincinnati.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman — who left last Sunday's loss to the Browns with a shoulder injury — returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was also limited, missing the open portion of practice before completing some work later in the session, per head coach Jesse Minter. Center Cam Jurgens, coming out of the concussion protocol, was a full participant and appears on track to make his Ravens debut against Cincinnati.
Rashod Bateman
Bateman is listed as questionable ahead of the Ravens' Week 7 game against the Bengals. A limited Wednesday practice is an encouraging first step — the source story notes it "suggests he'll have a chance to play if all goes well the next couple of days" — but his status is genuinely uncertain until later in the week. In PPR formats (points per reception), don't plug him into your lineup until Thursday or Friday practice reports clear things up. Have a streamer ready just in case.
Lamar Jackson
Jackson's limited Wednesday participation is worth monitoring closely — his ankle kept him off the main practice field for the open portion of the session. The good news is Minter confirmed he did get work in later. Jackson's health is the linchpin for the entire Ravens offense, so any escalation in his injury designation would ripple out to Bateman, Mark Andrews, and every other Baltimore pass-catcher on your roster. Keep a close eye on Thursday's report.
