The Thursday injury report for the Cincinnati Bengals provided an unexpected shakeup.

Running back Chris Evans landed as a did not participate on the report, suddenly throwing into question the pecking order behind Joe Mixon and when it comes to returners on special teams.

If Evans can’t go, Trayveon Williams will be the main back behind Mixon and rookie Chase Brown could be active for the game against the Ravens. Rookie wideout Charlie Jones might take his spot on kickoff returns while already serving as the starter on punt returns.

Otherwise, the Bengals got good news on the report, with Logan Wilson and Cam Sample returning to full participation and limited, respectively, while battling ankle issues. Joseph Ossai remained limited.

Ravens (1-0) at Bengals (0-1)

1 p.m. ET | CBS | Spread: CIN -3 (46.5)

 

Storyline to watch: This one will have early AFC North implications. The Bengals are looking to avoid an 0-2 start to the season and have health and home-field advantages. A Baltimore win gives the Ravens a strong start in their pursuit to end Cincinnati's two-year run as division champs. -- Ben Baby

 

Bold prediction: Jackson will run for more than 100 yards for the 13th time of his career. The Ravens will be without two of their best offensive linemen in left tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee) and center Tyler Linderbaum (ankle), which means Jackson will have to scramble to get away from pressure. Last Sunday, the Bengals allowed Browns QB Deshaun Watson to rush for 45 yards on five carries. Jackson has a history of success running the ball against Cincinnati, averaging 83.1 yards rushing in seven career games. -- Jamison Hensley

 

Stat to know: Including the playoffs, three of Burrow's four lowest Total QBR games in 2022 came against the Ravens.

How long will it take for Lamar and the Ravens to click on offense?

Dan Orlovsky and Damien Woody break down what Lamar Jackson and the Ravens need to do in Week 2 to shine on offense.

 

Matchup X factor: Ravens backup offensive linemen Patrick Mekari and Sam Mustipher. These two might have to fill in for Stanley and/or Linderbaum, who both suffered injuries in Week 1. If they can fill in well -- Mekari was pretty good last year -- then the Ravens should have the much better offensive line in this game. -- Walder

 

Injuries: Ravens | Bengals

What to know for fantasy: The chemistry Jackson and Zay Flowers had during training camp and the preseason carried over into the regular season. Flowers gained 54 yards after the catch, the second most in a rookie receiver's first career game since 2020. Flowers had nine receptions for 78 yards. See Week 2 rankings. -- Moody

 

Betting nugget: Jackson is 10-1-1 against the spread (ATS) as a regular-season underdog (8-4 outright). Out of 330 quarterbacks to be underdogs at least 10 times in the Super Bowl era, Jackson has the second-best outright record in that role behind Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is also an underdog this week. Read more.

 

Moody's pick: Bengals 28, Ravens 24
Walder's pick: Ravens 21, Bengals 16
FPI prediction: CIN, 51.5% (by an average of 0.6 points)

Hoping he heals quickly.

He would provide a good duo with Hubbard or Hendrickson .

He could become special..

Pretty rough to see them claiming the Ravens should have a "much better" OL with 2 backups starting.  Don't know that I'd agree but still, oof.

Ravens Activate Melvin Gordon III, Sam Mustipher for Bengals Game

The Ravens activated center Sam Mustipher and running back Melvin Gordon III from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

 

Mustipher will replace Tyler Linderbaum, who has been ruled out due to a sprained ankle. Mustipher has plenty of experience, as he started 40 games for the Browns the past three seasons. The Owings Mills native also knows the Ravens' standard.

"I grew up around here, so I know what it means to play like a Raven," Mustipher said Friday. "I played for Terrell Suggs' AAU team. To me, this is home."

 

Mustipher and Lamar Jackson have been putting in extra time this week working on their snaps considering Linderbaum snapped to Jackson throughout the summer. In what will be a loud environment at Paycor Stadium's home opener, it's critical that Mustipher and Jackson be on the same page.

 

"It's been very cool to be able to snap to a guy like Lamar Jackson. That guy's electric," Mustipher said. "Being able to get used to each other, preparing for the road, silent cadence and things like that. I feel like we're doing well with it. Now I just have to go out and execute."

 

Gordon provides running back depth behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill in the wake of J.K. Dobbins' season-ending Achilles injury. It will be Gordon's first game since Nov. 20 of last year with the Denver Broncos. He finished last season on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad.

 

"Having Melvin here, how cool is that?" Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken said this week. "That guy has played a lot of snaps in the NFL and is eager to continue to play and show that he can still play at a high level."

 

The Ravens also signed veteran safety Daryl Worley to the 53-man roster this week to offer more depth with Marcus Williams (pectoral) sidelined. Patrick Mekari is expected to start at left tackle with Ronnie Stanley (knee sprain) ruled out.
