The Ravens are on a two-game winning streak, Lamar Jackson is feeling good, and the entire team is healthy.
That's a good place to be as the Ravens travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10.
While most teams are dealing with a laundry list of injuries at this point of the season, Baltimore has had a clean bill of health all week. Every player on the 53-man roster is ready to play and nobody missed practice time this week due to injury.
The perfect attendance streak was broken Friday when left tackle Ronnie Stanley took a rest day. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey was added to the report with a finger issue, but he practiced fully.
It's quite rare for a team to be this healthy in Week 10, and it's a dramatic turnaround for the Ravens, who ruled out four Pro Bowlers and had 14 players with injury designations heading into their Week 5 game against the Houston Texans.
"A healthy team is a good team, and your best ability is your availability, as they always say," said Roquan Smith, who is one of the key players who missed time earlier this season. "So, it's about just continuing with that and just going out and being ourselves throughout the week and echoing that into the weekend on Sunday."
The Ravens are still dealing with the effects of the season-ending injury to Nnadmi Madubuike (neck), and several other key defensive players, including Tavius Robinson (foot), Broderick Washington Jr. (Achilles), and Ar'Darius Washington (Achilles), are still on the shelf.
But Baltimore made two trades to plug those gaps, adding safety Alohi Gilman to the secondary and dealing this week for Dre'Mont Jones, whose versatility will help at multiple spots in the defensive front.
Vikings Running Back Aaron Jones Is Questionable
Top Vikings running back Aaron Jones is questionable to play with shoulder and toe injuries, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
After missing a month of action earlier this season, Jones has played in the Vikings' last two games. He rushed nine times for 78 yards last week in a win in Detroit. Fellow running back Jordan Mason ran 10 times for 36 yards.
Former Ravens tight end Josh Oliver has been ruled out with a foot injury, as well as reserve cornerback Jeff Okudah (concussion). Safety Theo Jackson (concussion), who serves as a third safety in nickel situations, is questionable but returned to full practice participation Friday.
