"The Ravens' season is on the brink. Coming out of a bye week, Baltimore are 1-5 after a miserable start partly because their roster has been ripped apart by injuries. Next up are the Chicago Bears, who have come into some form. Beat the Bears, and the Ravens could turn the year around. If they lose, and they fall to 16, their season is effectively over, a huge disappointment for a team with genuine Super Bowl aspirations a few months ago."
"Injuries It's been a Season From Hell for the Ravens. Injuries have been everywhere and constant. At various points this season they have been without Lamar Jackson (QB), Patrick Ricard (FB), Ronnie Stanley (OT), Emery Jones Jr (OT), Chidobe Awuzie (CB), Tavius Robinson (LB), Robert Longerbeam (CB), Bilhal Kone (CB), Ar'Darius Washington (S), Roquan Smith (LB) and Nnamdi Madubuike (DL). Some have missed weeks; others months."
Baltimore enters the bye at 1-5 with a pivotal game against the Chicago Bears that could determine whether the season can be salvaged. The roster has been ravaged by injuries to starters including Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith and Nnamdi Madubuike, forcing reliance on practice-squad players and weakening both pass rush and coverage. Awuzie and Smith are expected to return, but Madubuike is out for the season with a neck injury that undermines the blitz-heavy defense. Jackson's hamstring remains uncertain, and the offense has been markedly less effective without him. A loss that drops the team to 1-6 would likely end legitimate playoff hopes.
